Description: Éditions Messidor/Livre Club Diderot Paris 1986 HB 357+357 +337+ 357+371 pages., The 1779 pages, each often with several bright illustrations, bring the entire decade of the French Revolution to life as no narrative text could achieve. The French historian, wrote Dutch historian Huizinga (V.W. VII 252), is of necessity either radically opposed to, or warmly in favour of this Revolution. Vovelle certainly belongs to the second category. His tolerant comments are in stark contrast to what the pictures he assembled show: anger, violence, pillage, destruction, murder, massacre, destitution, hunger; without pause, without abatement
