Rapport traces revolution, and counterrevolution, throughout the cities, taking the reader from location to location, and even down individual streets, providing the reader with an on-the-ground experience * Gotham Centre for New York History * Lucid, engaging, and evocatively written * The Nation * Captivating . . . gripping . . . The book is a pleasure to read and a welcome addition to the literature on the revolutionary era across the Atlantic * American Historical Review * A refreshingly vibrant narrative.
