Graeme Fife is the author of numerous plays, documentaries and features for BBC Radio - including a play based on letters written by victims of the Terror. His books include Arthur the King and Tour de France. He is fluent in French, and divides his time between France and his home near Sevenoaks, Kent.
A powerful and frightening account - based on fresh research and eye- witness accounts - of the great Terror that swept France after the Revolution. From early 1793 to the summer of 1794, the young French Republic was subject to a reign of institutionalised terror which grew ever more bloodthirsty and paranoid in its actions.
