The French Revolution

Hilaire Belloc was an Anglo-French historian and author. Belloc was a very prolific writer and a devout Catholic whose beliefs had a great impact on his books. Belloc wrote on a variety of subjects and is still widely read today. This is an excellent book on the history of the events and people that made up the French Revolution. Belloc also argued that the Church was in a crisis at the time and that most people in France had no religion in their lives. This in large part led to some of the atrocities of the Revolution.
