I rode pieces of the great works of Georges Lefebvre and Albert Soboul, they are between the better historians in this matter althought they are marxists
-Georges Lefebvre: if i remember well he have a work of two volumes about the The French Revolution with that title or something close, a classic.
-Albert Soboul: he have a basic book called too "The French Revolution" and several more of course, he centered many articles around the roots in XVIII century, but i can say these articles are hard to read.
There is another author, who i couldn't read very well but was very interesting, he wasn't marxist but "atlantic", he tought that in fact a correct approach to the revolutions must be atlantic
-Jacques Godechot: "France and the atlantic revolution of the eighteenth century" and "The Napoleonic Era in Europe"
I talk about those guys because i have read some of their works.
