maybe to start with, just pick the most general ones for each?

Not sure which revs you are doing but if French - read A Very Short Introduction to the French Revolution by William Doyle - he is a leading Revisionist of the French Revolution and the book itself is accessible to those who have limited background knowledge.

Hey ohemchuggs

If you are doing the French Revolution I'd recommend The Days of the French Revolution by Christopher Hibbert. It's written in more of a narrative style which makes it easy to read but doesn't cut out the details and truth you want and need.
