Gr 10 Up-After a historical summary, 19 essays are presented in four sections, covering causes, significant events, social and cultural aspects, and the impact and legacy of the Revolution. An appendix contains excerpts from 26 original documents relevant to the topic, plus a chronology and bibliography. The book is thorough and thought-provoking, if somewhat dry. It will be most useful for students who are required to analyze and discuss particular aspects of this period. For a more in-depth historical narrative, use Steven Otfinoski's Triumph & Terror (Facts on File, 1993).-Ann W.
