It begins with a preface that highlights the misconceptions regarding Robespierre as the embodiment of Terror and discusses how the narrative surrounding him has been shaped by political opponents. The author reflects on the critical events leading up to the coup d'état of 9 Thermidor, emphasizing the complexity of Robespierre's character and his efforts to steer the Revolution towards its original ideals of liberty and justice, even amidst the chaos of political factions.
