Review title: Be Open-minded (And Bring Your Thesaurus)
Product review: First off, Simon Schama has a much broader vocabulary than most of us, so bring your thesaurus or dictionary when sitting down.My goal when picking up "Citizens" was to learn more about the French Revolution, something I had never studied in any depth. This book does have depth and beyond just reciting facts and figures, analyzes the men and women of the Revolution, and provides a view point on the events, often contradicting or expanding previous research and publications. I got a hell of a lot more out of "Citizens" than I ever expected. I now have a context of French Revolution not only within French History but how it compares to the American Revolution, English revolutionary struggles, and its influence on Bonaparte, the Soviets, and Europe as a whole.Sit down, bring your dictionary (and plenty of time - it took me over 10 years to pick it up and another year to read it!) and enjoy "Citizens".
