The Memiors of Madame Roland: A Heroine of the French Revolution
"Roland was 39 when she went to the guillotine. What she observed  would have been fascinating in any period with any group of individuals,  and what makes these memoirs that much more intriguing is that the  individuals she knew have come down to us through history, in all their  manifold guises; each valid, each sill open to contradiction." --Catholic Herald
