The Last RevolutionariesThe story of a poor man and radical activist who fought to revive the French Revolution, and whose failure heralded the republics defeat Very much a book for our times. Masons retelling of the trial of Gracchus Babeuf and the French Revolution shows how democracies end. Historians of revolutions and all those concerned with the arc of social justice movements have much to learn from this remarkable story.Sophia Rosenfeld, University of Pennsylvania
