Review title: the truth about the french revolution
Product review: This volume expands upon Warren Carroll's earlier work, "The Guillotine and the Cross" and he makes a very strong case that the French revolution was much more about destroying Christianity than establishing liberty, for true liberty would most certainly have included religious freedom. Instead, the early revolutionaries murdered more than 1000 priests and religious for refusing to abandon their vows and accept the newly formed state-run religion, an act which also gave the revolutionaries access to lands owned by the Catholic church.The author relays some very unsettling accounts of mob rule where innocents were murdered in a great wave of bloodlust. Yet there are also stories of courage, like the little group of nuns who stood quietly against the terror of the guillotine as they willingly sacrificed their lives to bring sanity and stability back to France. This view of revolutionary France and it's real impact on society and religion is well worth reading.
