Er, to reduce the origins of the French revolution to a rumour spread against Marie Antoinnete shows a rading of history so simplistic that it sounds childish. Robespierre may have been a tyrant but Voltaire, Rousseau and Montasque were not dacoits or murderers let alone any of the other epithets directed against them. Even leaving aside the gifts of parliamentary democracy and human rights the world got as fruits of the revolution I cannot understand how the author traces existentialsim, nihilism and capitalsim to the French Revolution.
