A gripping epic and Tour de force of historical imagination, A Place of Greater Safety tells the Story of three young men who find themselves in Paris in 1789 at the dawn of the French Revolution. Georges Jacques Danton: zealous energetic and debt ridden, Maximilien Robespierre: tall diligent and terrified of violence and Camille Desmoulins: a genius of rhetoric, charming and handsome, yet so erratic and untrustworthy.
As the men taste the addictive delights of power, the darker side of the Revolution's ideals are unleashed and all experience the horror that follows.
