If you don't mind philosophy, I'd highly recommend Albert Camus and his (book-length) essay L'Homme révolté - as far as I know, edited in English under the title The Rebel. Among other topics, a long analysis of French Revolution and people involved, with a focus on Saint-Just. Not exactly what one might call a "light reading", but worth it, as everything by Camus (said by a person disliking the language of theoretical philosophy...).
