The Reign of Terror continues to fascinate scholars as one of the
bloodiest periods in French history, when the Committee of Public
Safety strove to defend the first Republic from its many enemies,
creating a climate of fear and suspicion in revolutionary France. R.
R. Palmer's fascinating narrative follows the Committee's deputies
individually and collectively, recounting and assessing their
tumultuous struggles in Paris and their repressive missions in the
provinces. A foreword by Isser Woloch explains why this book remains
an enduring classic in French revolutionary studies.
