I'm supposed to be looking forward to 'Christmas, what I want for' at the moment. I've been looking around for books about The French Revolution, and I was wondering if anyone has opinions on the following:

The Days of the French Revolution by Christopher Hibbert

Fatal Purity: Robespierre and the French Revolution by Ruth Scurr

Saint Just by Norman Hampson

Vive la Revolution by Mark Steel

Thanks!

I'm actually reading Vive la revolution right now. I haven't read much since I as always read several books at a time, but so far it's good. I think it's very funny, in an objective way, except for his comments to the pictures which are just hilarious in a very stupid way. And it supports and defends the revolution and it's ways, Steel's point of view are not so different from several of the opinions here I believe.
