French Revolution." . Choice ." . . a solidly researched and
well-written book. Kennedy has done much to provide new information
regarding the inner workings of the Jacobin clubs in the
Revolution." . Labour/Travail A pendant to two well-received books
by the same author on the departmental clubs during the early years
of the Revolution, this book is the product of thirty years of
scholarly study, including archival research in Paris and in more
than seventy departments in France. It focuses on the twenty-eight
months from May 1793 to August 1795, a period spanning the
Federalist Revolt, the Terror, and the Thermidorian Reaction. The
Federalist Revolt, in which many clubs were involved, had momentous
consequences for all of them and was, in the local setting, the
principal cause of the Reign of Terror, a period in which more than
5,300 communes had clubs that reached the zenith of their power and
influence, engaging in a myriad of political, administrative,
judicial, religious, economic, social, and war-related activities.
The book ends with their decline and final dissolution by a decree
of the Convention in Paris. Michael Kennedy is Chair of the History
Department at Winthrop University."
