Between 1793 and 1794, thousands of French citizens were imprisoned and hundreds sent to the guillotine by a powerful dictatorship that claimed to be acting in the public interest. Only a few years earlier, revolutionaries had proclaimed a new era of tolerance, equal justice, and human rights. How and why did the French Revolution's lofty ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity descend into violence and terror?

Although I had been warned( by the title itself), I was a bit dissapointed that the events of year II (the apogee of terror)were almost not discussed, as the book mainly focuses on the events that preceded the terror( and how they created it), and not on the terror itself.
