A review by spinnerroweok
Rousseau and Revolution by Will Durant

4.0

The Durants get better with each book. I think as the project went along they found their style. I also think that was they focused on smaller time periods which are closer in our social memory and have a greater abundance of sources, it gives them the ability to delve deeper. I also enjoyed it more because it is French history which I studied quite a bit in college and beyond.

The end of this had an envoi that indicated it was the last book, but it's not! Next up: the French Revolution and Napoleon.
