Hello, /his/.
First of all, pic unrelated.
I am helping my girlfriend prepare for a test from said topic - French revolution - and I am looking for some interesting books regarding it.
I know the basics, but her teacher (whom I had too, and is probably the best one I ever had) requires more in- depth knowledge - not of dates, but of social, economical and political stances and situation.
It doesn't have to be a book - a decent blog, podcast or anything of sort is welcome too.
Also, general French revolution thread - your favorite moments and people? We haven't had this in a looong time.

Thanks, those seem pretty interesting.
But come on, it wasn't that bad - I mean, the part with Robespierre was pretty fucking awful (unless you're a pretending edgy kid), but the rest was not only interesting, but also quite important for the development of Europe further on.
I sort of regret that La Fayette wasn't a bit more succesfull though. Could've been actually interesting to see how it would turn out with king in position and the radical left kept in check.

They literally killed France and the French culture
As a French Catholic i can clearly tell you that there are two race of French, the Catholic/Royalist and the Atheist who is cultureless and just dead inside

American here.
French Catholics deserved to die for trying to force an absolute monarchy on France and conspiring with foreign powers to do so.

It's not us that will die but the atheists
They have 0 birthrate while we have the biggest in Europe
Antoine François Bertrand de Molleville has an interesting account on the Revolution; although I doubt it has been translated into English.
My favorite moment/personality is the arrival of the Duke of Brunswick with a manifesto and his hussars, like some sort of Deus ex machina.
