    'Cambridge should be warmly congratulated on their decision to make [the revolutionary decade volumes] available in translation. For this is far more than just another general history of the Revolution, roaming across a familiar political canvas. All three authors are active researchers in the field, and two of them, Michel Vovelle and Marc Bouloiseau, have written pioneering studies on the revolutionary experience … Taken together, the three volumes present a valuable conspectus … Students of the revolutionary period will turn to these volumes with both pleasure and profit.'
    Alan Forrest, The Times Higher Educational Supplement
