About This Book

A documentary history reconstructs the fall of Maximilien Robespierre and the political coup that ended his influence, drawing on original sources and official records to reassess responsibility for the Terror. The author analyzes parliamentary debates, popular committees, legal measures, and partisan intrigues, critiques false denials and forged evidence, and examines the roles of contemporaneous actors and revolutionary commissions. The narrative balances defense of revolutionary principles with scrutiny of repressive measures, aiming to correct misconceptions and to present a clearer chronology and motive structure behind the overthrow and its immediate aftermath.
