The book explores the life and significance of Georges Danton, a key figure in the French Revolution, tracing his contributions and the broader political movements of the time. Belloc seeks to analyze Danton's character and his role in shaping revolutionary France amidst chaos and tumult. At the start of the work, the author lays out the methodological framework for understanding Danton's life and the Revolution itself. He critiques the existing historical narratives regarding Danton and Robespierre, arguing for a nuanced understanding of their actions and motivations. Belloc emphasizes the necessity of reform in the face of societal decay, setting the stage for an exploration of Danton's early life and eventual rise to prominence during the revolutionary fervor that called forth leaders from obscurity. The opening chapters provide context by discussing the socio-political environment of France prior to the Revolution, highlighting the distinct classes in society, the frustrations of the populace, and the conditions that led to Danton's emergence as a pivotal force in the revolutionary movement.
