Can I say I "read" the book when I didn't? Got to Chapter 2 and quit. The topic is good but the writing is so dry and academic that I gave up and went to my next book on the French Revolution: "The Terror" which, like this book, also covers historical background and analysis, but is more readable. If I change my mind and want to give it another go, I will come back and edit my review.
