• Extra informatie: - The Tribunal Révolutionnaire, created in 1793, was the key judicial arm of the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, known for swift trials and mass executions. It functioned during the Reign of Terror (mid-1793 to mid-1794). Its trials lacked due proces, the defense of the accused was minimal or symbolic and verdicts frequently ended in the death penalty by the guillotine. Its most famous public prosecutor, Antoine Quentin Fouquier-Tinville (1746-1795), became a feared symbol of revolutionary justice, overseeing trials of figures like Marie Antoinette and Danton. After Robespierre’s fall, Fouquier was arrested, tried, and guillotined in May 1795, accused of misusing his prosecutorial powers. In Les Coulisses du Tribunal Révolutionnaire, historian Hector Fleischmann offers a revisionist portrait of Fouquier-Tinville through unpublished letters from him and his family, and newly uncovered documents. The book blends biography and historical documentation, providing an intimate, behind-the-scenes view of the Tribunal. Fleischmann challenges the image of Fouquier as a mere executioner, portraying him as a more complex and tragic figure.
