This is excellent history demonstrating the friendship of George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette as well as the connections between the American and French Revolutions.

Having French ancestry I have been drawn to all things Francais for most of my life.

After purchasing a DVD copy of the film there was an interivew of... more info

Rights of man: Being an answer to Mr. Burke's attack on the French revolution, (Everyman's library, ed. by Ernest Rhys. Philosophy and theology. [no. 718])
from E.P. Dutton & co

Customer Review:

Paine wrote RoM while in France, during the early years of the revolution, in response to an antirevolutionary pamphlet from his previous friend Burke. There is lots of polemics going on, and the crux of the matter is that Burke makes light of The Declaration of the Rights of Man, which was adopted... more info

Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution
from Vintage
Price: $13.71

Customer Review:

This is one of the best written works of historical fiction that I've run across. Simon Schama captures the spirit of the French Revolution so well that I found myself dreaming that I was part of it all, complete with vivid colors and other treats for the senses! He weaves together very well the... more info

The French Revolution: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $6.54

Customer Review:

I'm quite surprised at the uniformly favorable reviews of this book. If a history is even mildly engaging, it keeps my interest. But here the author assumes too much and gets side-tracked in banalities and superfluous detail instead of succinctly telling the big story in a "very short introduction."... more info

The Days of the French Revolution
from Harper Perennial
Price: $9.68

Customer Review:

Very well done. The right amount of detail, and the portrait of Louis XVI and his wife Marie Antoinette was, as far as I could tell, fair and balanced. I learned a lot.

Fatal Purity: Robespierre and the French Revolution
from Holt Paperbacks
Price: $2.43

Customer Review:

I was surprised to read in the very first review for the book "Fatal Purity: Robespierre and the French Revolution" (on Amazon's webpage for that particular book), under the banner of "No longer the Incorruptible", a scathing attack on the character of Maximilien de Robespierre. The author of that... more info

Lafayette
from Wiley
Price: $9.99

Customer Review:

The book is a good source on Lafayette's life. The book contains so many quotes from original material that it shows the author did a lot of research, but the quotes are usually meshed into the prose in such a way as to have a very nice flow to the prose.
The bad however is the bias the author... more info

To the Scaffold: The Life of Marie Antoinette
from William Morrow & Co
Price: $4.39

Customer Review:

While this was not exactly what I was looking for, it turned out to be a very good book. For some reason, I started this thinking it was a historical fiction...I was wrong. It reads like a fiction, but it's a historically accurate account of Antoinette's life, no liberties were taken in an attempt... more info
