- Easily "Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution" by Simon Schama
- My plan is to read about the french revolution and as such I was thinking about reading the books recommended by Five Books[1]:
1. Ancien Regime and the Revolution by Alexis de Tocqueville
2. Interpreting the French Revolution by François Furet
3. Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution by Simon Schama
4. Twelve Who Ruled: The Year of the Terror in the French Revolution by R. R. Palmer
5. New Regime: Transformations of the French Civic Order, 1789-1820s by Woloch Isser
Just ordered the first one!
