What does a person experience on the eve of horrific upheavals? The great fear that swept the people on the eve of the French Revolution brought with it panic, paranoia, and chaos that defy description. Hungry peasants flocking to the cities in search of work. Vagabonds begging at the fortress walls. Countless rioting crowds. All these are manifestations of the mass hysteria that gripped France in the summer of 1789, but the history of any major upheaval is much deeper than it seems at first glance. Behind the façade of rebellion, individual human destinies always lurk.

The eminent historian Georges Lefebvre describes the phenomenon of the French Revolution, conveying the full depth of the upheaval felt by ordinary people. By bringing the reader close to the rioting crowd, he forces them to experience the same feelings and emotions, to understand what people experienced when they took up arms.
