Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast, season 3. Probably about 30-40hrs of content (a lot of history happened!) and I find his content is a real good for first-timers.

The French Revolution, A History by Thomas Carlyle. It is a truly massive undertaking, an 'in depth' account if there ever was one; and Carlyle's focus on the 'various types' of people involved is quite clear.

Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France is a great read. I wonder which quadrant Graham would put Burke in?

A New World Begins: The History of the French Revolution by Popkin was very good.
