Danton Biography

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.

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.

Aside from the Hampson biography, here's what Amazon turned up:

Life of Danton (http://www.amazon.com/Life-Danton-H-Beesly/dp/1417957247/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213635591&sr=1-12)

Georges Jacques Danton (World Leaders Past and Present) (http://www.amazon.com/Georges-Jacques-Danton-Leaders-Present/dp/0877545197/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213635618&sr=1-20)

Danton: a biography of the genius, and victim, of the French Revolution (http://www.amazon.com/Danton-biography-genius-victim-Revolution/dp/B000J0L8KC/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1213635618&sr=1-22) (I think we actually have this one in my library, but I'm afraid I haven't read it XD;)
