Paris Under The Commune (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162678733)

Paris Under The Commune is a historical book written by John Leighton that explores the events that took place during the Paris Commune of 1871. The Paris Commune was a radical socialist and revolutionary government that ruled Paris for two months until it was brutally suppressed by the French government. The book provides a detailed account of the political, social, and economic conditions that led to the Commune, as well as the various factions that emerged during its brief existence. It also delves into the daily life of Parisians during this tumultuous period, including the impact of the Commune on the city's cultural and artistic scene. Leighton's narrative is based on a wealth of primary sources, including newspapers, diaries, and official documents, and provides a vivid and engaging portrait of one of the most significant events in French history.It cannot be true. I will not believe it. It cannot be possible that Paris is to be again bombarded: and by whom? By Frenchmen! In spite of the danger I was told there was to be apprehended near Neuilly, I wished to see with my own eyes what was going on. So this morning, the 8th April, I went to the Champs Elysees.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
