Ending the French Revolution by Howard G Brown
The early years of the French Revolution have inspired several democratic movements. Yet little attention has been paid to the problems of violence, justice, and repression. This work analyzes these years to reveal the difficulty of founding a liberal democracy in the midst of continual warfare, repeated coups d'etat, and endemic civil strife.
This is one of the most important pieces of scholarship on the French Revolution since the 1989 bicentennialHoward Brown's book provides a new, compelling, and thought-provoking interpretation of the events, linking them to broader historical and social scientific problems in a fresh and challenging manner. The book will be of remarkable and unusual interest to scholars in a wide variety of fields. - David Bell, The Johns Hopkins University
