Twelve Who Ruled : The Year of Terror in the French Revolution Paperback / softback

Part of the Princeton Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

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.
