  • "Recounts the events between the fall of the ancient regime and the peak of the terror, as seen through the eyes of the French Revolution's three protagonists-- Georges-Jacques Danton, Maxililien Robespierre and Camille Desmoulins; men whose mix of ambition and ego helped unleash the darker side of the Revolution's ideals."
  • "Mantel recounts the events between the fall of the ancien regime and the peak of the Terror as seen through the eyes of the three protagonists--Robespierre, Danton and Desmoulins--and a huge cast of supporting characters (including brief appearances by the scrofulous Marat). The three revolutionaries, longtime acquaintances, spend their days scheming and fighting for a corruption-free French Republic, but their definitions of "corrupt" are as different as the men themselves. Robespierre is the fulcrum. Rigidly puritanical, he is able to strike terror into the most stalwart of hearts, and his implacable progress towards his goal makes him the most formidable figure of the age.--From Publisher's Weekly."

Having unleashed the forces of revolution in the name of liberty and happiness, Danton, Robespierre, and Desmoulins will become witnesses to, participants in, and, eventually, victims of an uncontrollable escalating spiral of rage and need, terror and violence.
