The French Revolution Vol. II

Thomas Carlyle's "The French Revolution, Vol. II" brings the revolutionary drama to its most intense and destructive stage. With vivid, energetic prose, it follows the collapse of the monarchy, the rise of the Republic, the Reign of Terror, and the struggle for power among competing factions. Carlyle portrays both the grandeur and horror of revolution, revealing how idealism, fear, violence, and political ambition reshape France-and ultimately consume many of its leaders.The French Revolution - Vol. II is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1896.
