I'm looking for the most detailed book on the subject of the persecution of the Church during the French Revolution. Preferably also dealing with the new religion that the authorities tried to set up. Any suggestions? I have Dr. Warren Carroll's Revolution Against Christendom. Is that the best book on the subject?

I have Belloc's. Haven't read it yet, but it is supposed to be good and of course, he'll incorporate the Faith into a lot of it, but it isn't long.

I also have Edmund Burke's work on it - not Catholic but it's relatively first hand.

If you are reading Carroll, then read The Guillotine and the Cross, which deals directly with the French Revolution.

Not what you are looking for by particular query, yet this book is fair on the topic(at least how I remember 15 years ago).
