Investigates one of history's most notorious events: the mass drowning at Nantes in the early morning of 15th December 1793 of 129 men and women, executed without trial as captured rebels and "suspects" under orders of Jean-Baptiste Carrier, then a 37 yr. old Deputy of the National Convention. Brought to trial himself, a year later, Carries whose name has appeared in the histories of the French Revolution as a by-word for the inhumanity and excesses of the Reign of Terror, was condemned to death with two accomplices and executed by guillotine on 16th December 1794. This primary source material and questions throughout this case study show students how to approach the evidence and place this event in the context of the historical period.

In its fifth year (1793-1794), the French Revolution faced a multifaceted crisis that threatened to overwhelm the Republic. In response the government instituted a revolutionary dictatorship and a ""reign of terror,"" with a Committee of Public Safety at its head. R. R. Palmer's fascinating narrative follows the Committee's deputies individually and collectively, recounting and assessing their tumultuous struggles in Paris and their repressive missions in the provinces. A new foreword by Isser Woloch explains why this book has been, and deserves to remain, an enduring classic in French revo.

Between 1793 and 1794, thousands of French citizens were imprisoned and hundreds sent to the guillotine by a powerful dictatorship that claimed to be acting in the public interest. Only a few years earlier, revolutionaries had proclaimed a new era of tolerance, equal justice, and human rights. How and why did the French Revolution’s lofty ideals of liberty, equality, and fraternity descend into violence and terror? “By attending to the role of emotions in propelling the Terror, Tackett steers a more nuanced course than many previous historians have managed...Imagined terrors, as...Tackett very usefully reminds us, can have even more political potency than real ones.” —David A. Bell, The Atlantic “[Tackett] analyzes the mentalité of those who became ‘terrorists’ in 18th-century France...In emphasizing weakness and uncertainty instead of fanatical strength as the driving force behind the Terror...Tackett...contributes to an important realignment in the study of French history.” —Ruth Scurr, The Spectator “[A] boldly conceived and important book...This is a thought-provoking book that makes a major contribution to our understanding of terror and political intolerance, and also to the history of emotions more generally. It helps expose the complexity of a revolution that cannot be adequately understood in terms of principles alone.” —Alan Forrest, Times Literary Supplement

"Citizens, did you want a revolution without a revolution?" - Maximilien Robespierre As one of the seminal social revolutions in human history, the French Revolution holds a unique legacy, especially in the West. The early years of the Revolution were fueled by Enlightenment ideals, seeking the social overthrow of the caste system that gave the royalty and aristocracy decisive advantages over the lower classes. But history remembers the French Revolution in a starkly different way, as the same leaders who sought a more democratic system while out of power devolved into establishing an incredibly repressive tyranny of their own once they acquired it. The height of Republican France's tyranny came during a 10 month period forever known as the Reign of Terror, the most notorious and arguably most memorable part of the French Revolution. One of the first victims of the Reign of Terror was its most famous: former French Queen Marie Antoinette. But Antoinette was followed by thousands more, including everyone from aristocrats to clergy to prostitutes and even instrumental revolutionaries like Danton, Desmoulins, and, most notably, Robespierre. It was Robespierre whose position on the Committee of Public Safety made him the Reign of Terror's instrumental figure until he himself became a victim of it in July 1794. Robespierre's date with the guillotine is often considered the official end of the Reign of Terror, but by then it is estimated that at least 16,000 people were guillotined in that time and possibly 25,000 more were summarily executed across the country. Although Robespierre is almost singlehandedly associated with the Reign of Terror and is typically blamed for it, many factors influenced the actions and beliefs of Paris and the remainder of France during late 1793 and 1794. Robespierre and the Committee of Public Safety believed passionately in the Revolution and fought to eliminate any threat to the young French Republic. Robespierre envisioned a Republic of Virtue, with no room for anyone who did not abide by his rules and morality. Counterrevolutionaries certainly did threaten the Revolution; however, most of those killed during the Reign of Terror were not counterrevolutionaries and posed no serious threat to the Revolution or Republic. Decisive Moments in History: The Reign of Terror chronicles this instrumental period of the French Revolution, explaining the historical background leading up to it, the seminal moments of the Reign of Terror, and its aftermath and legacy. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Reign of Terror like you never have before, in no time at all.

"From late 1792 to the summer of 1794, the young French Republic was subject to a reign of institionalised terror - in many ways the prcursor of Stalin's Great Terror of the 1930s. The Republic founded on liberty, equality and fraternity degenerated into a nightmare of paralysing fear nad panic, of suspicion and betrayal. Personified by Robespierre and Saint-Just, the Terror convulsed and very nearly ruined France - until they too met their fate under Dr Guillotin's new invention. That extraordinary, blood thirsty period comes vividly to life in this book; by mining the original French sources - contemporary documents, eye-witness accounts, reports from the dreaded Committee for public safety. The author brilliantly recreates the deadly, paranoid atmosphere of the time. He shows that the Terror was not just confined to Paris - the Terror cut a swathe across France. In Nantes, thousands of prisoners were dragged from their cells and drowned in the Loire. In Lyon, hundreds of rebels were mown down into mass graves by grapeshot. And yet amidst the horror there are also stories of great dignity and heroism, audacious escapes, and the pathos of heart-wrenching last letters written by men and women prisoners in the grim Conciergerie, awaiting the final ride in the tumbrels through the streets of Paris to the guillotine"--Provided by publisher.
