Features: The position of the French Revolution in history is as important as the Renaissance that preceded it and the Industrial Revolution that followed. Therefore, even without the French Revolution, our world would be different. This book aims to help us understand the French Revolution and not forget its two major characteristics:
1. The French Revolution was born from the genuine, pure fervor of the people. They had their demands and their souls; they did not want leaders to dominate them or for political conspiracies to drive the revolution. They were bare and pure revolutionaries.
2. The figures of the French Revolution, though each had their weaknesses, were all wholeheartedly committed to the revolution with their lives.
