Books on the French Revolution
I fancy doing some reading on the French Revolution. A period of history that fascinates me. I am just doing this for my own pleasure, not serious studying. Does anyone know of any books to recommend on this subject?
thank you

jake-the-peg. I certainly will go to 'in our time'. I am particularly pleased with the link because I enjoyed the radio programme but rarely heard it, and I am not yet in the way of thinking use the Internet to pick up years of programming. I have no excuse for being bored for ages.
stewey. I have read quite a lot of Dickens but this not the 'A Tale of Two Cities so will try that. He is a very evocative writer, and reading him always does give you a feeling that you have gone back in time
shaneystar2. I will check out Simon Sharma. Actually I have recently purchased 4 of B O's books via Amazon. I read these as a teenager who half loved them because of the swashbuckling romance and what English girl would not have been in love with Sir Blakney, the other half was a very serious intense socialist who whilst totally against murder, fully supported the idealist aims of revolution.
