description: Ending the Terror makes accessible for the first time in English a major assessment of a crucial moment in the history of the French Revolution. The fall of Robespierre in July 1794 marks not only a turning point in the history of the Revolution: 'Thermidor' is also a symbolic moment which came to haunt the subsequent revolutions of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Professor Baczko analyses the Terror in detail through the political history of the French National Assembly, and also looks at the broader issues of the political culture of Revolutionary France.
