The story of a poor man and radical activist who fought to revive the French Revolution, and whose failure heralded the republic's defeatLaura Mason tells a new story about the French Revolution by exploring the trial of Gracchus Babeuf. Named by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels as the "first modern communist," Babeuf was a poor man, an autodidact, and an activist accused of conspiring to reignite the Revolution and renew political terror.

Mason refracts national political life through Babeuf's trial to reveal how this explosive event destabilized a fragile republic.Although the French Revolution is celebrated as a founding moment of modern representative government, this book
