Book Reviews of Fatal Purity: Robespierre and the French Revolution
Book Review: I had no idea the French could be so interesting!
Summary: 5 Stars
Prior to this book my view of the French revolution was largely dependent upon a Carry On film I had half seen as a child. Foreign history (except of course William the Conqueror) did not visit my school. This biography of Robespierre grasps and then drags you wholeheartedly into and through the French revolution. The parallels between this historical character and event, and modern world politics are as striking as they are revealing. An excellent book.
