"Liberty and Destruction" presents the French Revolution from a new historical perspective and clarity, salvaging vivid historical memories from vast dusty archives, and weaving together personal stories and political trends. We are still living with the legacy of the French Revolution. It shapes mankind's understanding of government, law, rights and even human existence in the modern sense. For more than two hundred years, some people have continued to declare that the French Revolution is "passed" and "over"; but there are also people who continue to explore the way to realize the ideas of the French Revolution again, and perhaps once again experience the test of blood and fire. While "Freedom and Destruction" follows the historical tradition and problem awareness of its predecessors, it is also written in the context of the wave of change, globalization, and ecological awareness in the new century. This book "will become a standard account of the French Revolution for years to come."
