Re: recommendations. There aren't too many English books on the Revolution that I can whole-heartedly recommend. Timothy Tackett's not bad. Certain of Marie-Hélène Huet's articles in "Mourning Glory" are fairly good: especially the one on the monster-ization of Robespierre and Danton which I posted on a few years ago. I can be more helpful if I know what kind of books you're looking for though. For example, Suzanne Desan's book on social legislation during the Revolution is very good, but I don't know if it's relevant for your purposes.
And sorry, I've not read anything on the Revolution (or any other subject, for that matter) in German. I am currently reading J-P Gross's wonderfully well documented (if somewhat dry) book on Saint-Just, which I highly recommend, if you don't know it.
