Reviews

[Emily · Rating 5 out of 5]

An account of revolutionary direct actions from the point of view of the oppressed. Phenomenal history, a must-read, particularly for anyone interested in how a self-help and mutual-defense movement came into focus over 200 years before cell phones and twitter.

For concurrent noble/bourgeois machinations, see

I am unfortunately too stupid to read books like this anymore.

[Michael · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un livre de référence qui apporte un éclairage sociaux-économique des causes de la révolution de 1789, loin de certains clichés ou raccourcis.
