Georges Jacques Danton (1759-1794) was a French lawyer and a leading figure in the French Revolution. Danton's role in the onset of the Revolution has been disputed, especially during the French Third Republic; many historians describe him as "the chief force in the overthrow of the French monarchy and the establishment of the First French Republic."

He looks a lot like a fish and was executed, as most fish are, by guillotine.

Good condition. Front cover inner hinge is intact but starting to split and fragile. Pencil markings inside front and back covers. Bookseller "Gotham Book Mart" label inside back cover. Solid copy with clean pages & some shelf wear.
