Sure thing. ^_^ I can see why you might overlook that particular book; from the title alone it sounds like one of those books that bemoans the fate of the Innocent Victims of the Evil Revolutionaries (TM) - in fact, that's probably why it's his only book on the Revolution that's been translated into English - but of course, it's obviously not that at all. (For one thing, Blanc makes it pretty clear that the vast majority of them weren't innocent, even while humanizing them.)
You're going to love When the King Took Flight. Tackett is really just about the only American historian of which I can say this, but he's truly just awesome. ^__^
