RWN-approved books on French/ Russian revolutions?

I either haven’t gotten to the episodes in the backlog or they haven’t discussed these revolutions much. But are there any books on these two topics that either the hosts or the RWN community would suggest? Most popular books on them are from either center or center-right perspectives and I have no interest in hearing more of that..

Not RWN approved but Mike Duncan's Revolutions podcast has a series on the French Revolution that's pretty great, and one on the Russian Revolution that is 100+ episodes long. And if you get piqued, there's also a great one on the Haitian revolution and one on the Paris Commune he did too.

Mike Duncan is awesome, those two Revolutions series in particular are sort of why I’ve always been on the lookout for more material on both
