9 Thermidor

Started reading "The Fall of Robespierre: 24 Hours in Revolutionary Paris" by Colin Jones. This is an hour-by-hour history of 29 July 1794 (9 Thermidor). Might be of interest to Napoleonic history fans because so many well-known characters in the Napoleonic world were involved in the events of the day.


There haven't been many good French Revolution books lately, but this one is definitely worthwhile.
