Book Overview

The Great French Revolution, 1789-1793 is Peter Kropotkin's most substantial historical work. In it he presents a people's history of the world-shaking events of the Revolution and shows the key role the working men and women of the towns and countryside played in it. Without the constant pressure of popular organisations and activity, the politicians would never have created a Republic, nor been able to survive the counterrevolutionary forces...

The single best history of the French Revolution

Kropotkin's history surpasses even the greatest classical treatments of the French Revolution. His emphasis is on the purely liberating aspects of the Revolution, and he takes lessons from the Commune which are still relevant for modern progressives, radicals, revolutionaries, anarchists, syndicalists, and communists. Kropotkin himself is an anarcho-communist, opposing all authoritarian forms of government, and this is reflected in his dynamic and highly spirited interpretation of the French Revolution.
