So glad to finish this. Slow read with Footnotes and Tangeants on Substack. Doubt I’d have persevered without that support. Whilst I enjoyed odd sections I was often deeply confused by what was going on and don’t feel I have much more understanding of the French Revolution than when I started. But maybe that’s the point - definitely powerful stuff especially towards the end.
