The Reign of Terror continues to fascinate scholars as one of the bloodiest periods in French history, when the Committee of Public Safety strove to defend the first Republic from its many enemies, creating a climate of fear and suspicion in revolutionary France. R. R. Palmer's fascinating narrative follows the Committee's deputies individually and collectively, recounting and assessing their tumultuous struggles in Paris and their repressive missions in the provinces. A foreword by Isser Woloch explains why this book remains an enduring classic in French revolutionary studies. -- "New York Times" Similar books: The Family Romance of the French Revolution by Lynn Hunt The Terror by David Andress The Terror: The Shadow of the Guillotine: France 1792-1794 by Graeme Fife The Coming of the French Revolution by Georges Lefebvre The Oxford History of the French Revolution by William Doyle Citizens by Simon Schama The Days of the French Revolution by Christopher Hibbert The French Revolution by Thomas Carlyle The French Revolution by William Doyle The Old Regime and the French Revolution by Alexis De Tocqueville Liberty by Lucy Moore Fatal Purity by Ruth Scurr The Great Nation by Colin Jones The Lost King of France by Deborah Cadbury Seven Ages of Paris by Alistair Horne Fire and Fury by Michael Wolff America by Dinesh D'Souza Unfreedom of the Press by Mark R.
