McMahon, Darrin M.
Drawing On A Wide Range Of Primary Sources, Darrin M. Mcmahon Shows That Well Before The French Revolution, Enemies Of The Enlightenment Were Warning That The Secular Thrust Of Modern Philosophy Would Give Way To Horrors Of An Unprecedented Kind. Greeting 1789, In Turn, As The Realization Of Their Worst Fears, They Fought The Revolution From Its Onset, Profoundly Affecting Its Subsequent Course. The Radicalization - And Violence - Of The Revolution Was As Much The Product Of Militant Resistance As Any Inherent Logic.--book Jacket.
