Reader Reviews:
An indepth study of Pitt and the French Revolution (0/0 people found this helpful)
This was a work with a strong academic focus with prose to match rather than a general history. However, the book is extremely readable and very much enlightening. The analytical work is first rate with the author accurately describing the causes and effects of a particularly dark chapter in European history, the precursor to the long struggle with Napoleon. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone interested in William Pitt and the French Revolution. I would also recommend the author change the format from academic to general reader in subsequent editions i.e. send the reference sections to the end of the book and add some colour plates of the principle characters etc. Overall a fine example of scholarly history.
