The Coming of the French Revolution by Timothy Tackett, R.R. Palmer, Georges Lefebvre
4.0

Only runs up to the Parisians dragging Louis XVI back to the Tuileries, but goes into way depth explaining how it all came about. Considering the only things I knew about the French Revolution before this was it was incredibly complicated, dragged on for a century, and was super bloody.

Also, as a hair trigger hothead it was pretty neat to see how ballsy people were back then. Just because a revolution sometimes ends in horrible bloodshed, I see no reason that crooked people in positions of power shouldn't be drug out in the street and massacred.
