One of the most dramatic chapters in the history of nineteenth-century Europe, the Commune of 1871 was an eclectic revolutionary government that held power in Paris across eight weeks between 18 March & 28 May. Its brief rule ended in ` Bloody Week`
- the brutal massacre of as many as 15, 000 Parisians, & perhaps even more, who perished at the hands of the provisional government`s forces. By then, the city`s boulevards had been torched & its monuments toppled. More than 40, 000 Parisians were investigated, imprisoned or forced into exile
- a purging of Parisian society by a conservative national government whose supporters were considerably more horrified by a pile of rubble than the many deaths of the resisters. In this gripping narrative, John Merriman explores the radical & revolutionary roots of the Commune, painting vivid portraits of the Communards
- the ordinary workers, famous artists & extraordinary fire-starting women
- & their daily lives behind the barricades, & examining the ramifications of the Commune on the role of the state & sovereignty in France & modern Europe. Enthralling, evocative & deeply moving, this narrative account offers a full picture of a defining moment in the evolution of state terror & popular resistance.
