British author and comic, Mark Steel, talks about the French Revolution in a bar in NYC. His new book, Vive La Revolution, on the same topic, is available at www.haymarketbooks.org
Stunning stuff ,i remember a certain time in lurgan edward street ,n ireland bck in the 1960s someone told us the borde r had collpased ,ireland was free.
We had this mssion to go back a land freee of exploitation ,colonisation
Alas those comitted to this dream were imprisoned ,as well as those commmitted to keeping the land british ,as they had been enslaved also
His books damn good too. Bought it while in the US (ironically I'm a Brit and I couldn't get a copy over here, but ten minutes in Wiliamsburg & I was set.)
Fascinating read, and It really stood me in good stead 3 years later when I started a History course & a Politics & Government Course too.

Excellent stuff as usual, Mark. To borrow an American college football chant, "Go, Reds! Smash State!"
