Well done , to all the readers and volunteers !


(5 Sterne)

You don't know how precious you are , readers and other volunteers of Librivox and Internet Archive . We can't express our gratitude enough. This history written by Author Robert Matteson Johnston is a superb work for a beginner or for someone who wants to brush up on The French Revolution . Often one wants to hear more details and quotations but I doubt the author wrote this short history for that purpose . Inter alia, it can be deemed as a reference , a point of departure for the reader to do more research on this seminal period in history

Great book but why not translate the literature also?
