Rate this book
A short biography of Robespierre, one of the leaders of the French Revolution. Robespierre was a successful, popular, and cultured provincial lawyer who gained power in turbulent times and was able to pursue certain unproven social theories with a singleness of mind that could tolerate horrible human suffering if it was perceived as 'necessary' to the realization and defense of a theoretically ideal society.
