Hey, I'm looking for a good biography of Danton.  Anyone have any recommendations?  Comments on biographies?

I found Norman Hampson's Danton pretty useful, though I disagreed with some of his analysis. It's very informative, though-- but I'm not sure what people more widely read than I am think of it.

Thanks for answering... I guess we don't have many Danton fans in this comm!

This is so sad. I've been waiting to see if anyone else would reply to this post because I've sort of been wondering the same thing and have no answer myself. Poor Danton, really.
So, ah, sorry, I have nothing useful to add.
