I'd love some recommendations for books/biographies surrounding the French revolution and its aftermath.

I'm reading the Black Count by Tom Riess and enjoying it so far.

Thanks for the recommendations! I read Hero of Two worlds and enjoyed that, so I will definitely check out those other 2!

You might dig The 12 Who Ruled by Palmer. It's about the Committee for Public Safety. It's an older book, but very readable.
