How to Win Friends Then Guillotine People | Maximilien Robespierre (Part 2)
In part two of our season finale, Robespierre reaches the peak of his power as the Revolution descends into the Reign of Terror. He sends thousands to the guillotine in the name of protecting the Republic. But as fear consumes France, Robespierre's allies become his enemies, and the architect of the Terror finds himself facing the very machine he used against so many others. In our final episode, we discuss his dramatic fall from power and the execution that brought one of history's bloodiest chapters to an end.
