The Fall of Robespierre: 24 Hours in Revolutionary Paris

byColin Jones

The Fall of Robespierre is Colin Jones's historical account of 24 Hours in Revolutionary Paris. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and political science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
