A Place of Greater Safety: A Novel

A Place of Greater Safety tells the story of the Revolution through the lives of three men who formed their friendships in youth under the ancient régime, became players during the last days of Louis XVI and his corrupt court, led the mob in the first exhilarating moments of the upheaval, and died, none older than thirty-six, by the hand of the very forces they had brought into being. It is a stunning work of the imagination, one that reveals truths even the best historical accounts cannot match.
