Just finished a nice little book - The Guillotine And The Cross - it seemed like a pretty well documented short history of the Reign of Terror, from a Catholic perspective, quoting the revolutionaries themselves from original sources. The active suppression of the Catholic Church to start with and all Christians as it played out was very interesting.
All I need to know is that Lenin mentioned the French Revolution several times as inspirational to the Russian Revolution.
May I suggest three other books which I think you would find most interesting? "Marie Antoinette" and "Danton,A Study" both by Hillaire Belloc. Another book is "French Revolution" by Nester H. Webster. Regards,
