4459. A Decade of Revolution 1789-1799, by Crane Brinton (read 14 Jul 2008) This is a book, published in 1934, in the series The Rise of Modern Europe. It is much heavier on analysis than on narrative history, and so its age does show and I thought detracted from its significance, at least for me. He is rather dismissive of religion which did not endear him to me. But I do not regret reading the book. It is only the 6th volume in the series I have read but that I will read all 18 volumes is very doubtful. ( )
