(Ebook) In Defence of the Terror: Liberty or Death in the French Revolution by Sophie Wahnich ISBN 9781844678624, 1844678628

For two hundred years after the French Revolution, the Republican tradition celebrated the execution of princes and aristocrats, justifying the Terror as a necessary purge of counterrevolutionary forces. But recent decades have brought a marked change in attitude. 

The Revolution is no longer thought of in terms of historical necessity, but judged according to the supposedly 'timeless' standards of morality. ... Walnich explains how, contrary to prevailing interpretations, the instigators of the Terror sought to contain legitimate popular violence - in [Georges] Danton's words, to 'be terrible so as to spare the people the need to be so' - and that this goal was subsequently subsumed in the logic of war. 

The Terror was 'a process wedded to a regime of popular sovereignty, the only alterantives being to defeat tyrany or die for liberty.
