*(CORRECTED REPOST: for those who downloaded early on Fri 9th Feb- this one has the intended sound levels.Sorry & that) During what became known as "the terror", Robespierre the revolutionary pioneer was very good at making lists of potential candidates for the national razor (some, like Danton & Desmoulins were once his friends & allies.) One such list he would never read out as he was silenced before he could & arrested by his increasingly nervous colleagues. The spiraling terror & constant flowing of blood would die along with Robespierre, after he himself would face the chop at the place de la Concorde.(-Just one of the things along with the franco-austrian war to be somehow absent from the 2nd & last part of this rough & roundabout look at the french revolution. Hosted by fountain of knowledge.
