The Days Of The French Revolution by Christopher Hibbert was a great narrative of the revolution that was quite easy to read.
I followed that up with Napoleon by Vincent Cronin which was a fantastic bio of Napoleon and shows how post-revolutionary france so easily fell into monarchy with Napoleon as emperor.
Vincent Cronin's is a good one.
