    <body><![CDATA[Only the bold will tackle the French Revolution. Simon Schama throws caution to the winds in pursuit of Liberty, Fraternity and Equality. Schama challenges the reader with detailed history, characterization, and a sense of plot that combines the dead on history with all the color, emotion, and excit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17752793">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like Simon Schama's writing because it is full of detail, entertaining ( this is meant as a positive comment) and always interesting even when his detours are long-winded. I am rereading this book as a sort of second opinion after reading a biography of Marie-Antoinette. I learned more about 18th ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21409329">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Brilliantly written history of france from Louis XVI to the Thermidors. Main argument is convincing: that much of the revolution marked a continuation of trends already evident in the old regime, not a substantial break. <br/>sections on le terreur are excellent.]]></body>
