[lbo-talk] French history

[andie nachgeborenen]

The classic Marxist histories of the last generation
are Albert Soubol's The French Revolution and George
Lefebvre's (I think that's the sp.) The Coming of the
French Revolution. R.R. Palmer's Twelve Who Rule: A
History of the Terror, at  is a good gripping read,
narrative history of the highest quality; the politics
are liberal. Tocqueville is trancendent, so if you
arewa sking whether you "have to" read him, the answer
is no, unless you want to understand what happened.
