Recenzje

PRAISE FOR DAVID ANDRESS:
'David Andress's important new book is a major contribution in our efforts to rethink the French Revolution' Timothy Tackett, on The Terror.
'Andress writes with verve, never allowing the pace to slacken, moving swiftly from one character or episode to another. The result is exhilarating' Tim Blanning, Sunday Telegraph, on 1789.
'To understand our current political situation, this excellent book is recommended as a handy primer' Spectator, on Cultural Dementia
