French Revolution

by Hilaire Belloc

This book is a historical analysis of the French Revolution by Hilaire Belloc. Belloc argues that the Revolution was a deliberate act of evil by the French people and that it cannot be justified by any appeal to reason or justice. He also argues that the Revolution was a failure and that it led to the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars.
