{"product_id":"the-day-of-the-guillotine-jd-arden-9798264117862","title":"The Day of The Guillotine: Bastille, 14 July 1789","description":"July heat, empty bread carts, and a city that had learned to believe rumors as fast as it feared troops. On 14 July 1789 Parisians set out for gunpowder and guns; they wound up improvising politics in public. The Day of the Guillotine follows that morning minute by minute-market noise, tavern talk, municipal bungling, and the raw, chaotic work of turning a theft into a story that could not be put back in its box. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJD Arden moves past legend to the practical mechanics of revolt: supply chains and shouting matches, weak policing and sudden leadership, pamphlets that turned a local raid into a national script. Sharp, human, and short on rhetoric, this book asks what makes a crowd seize an opportunity and how a single day comes to stand for a whole age. Read it for the scene; stay for the lesson: history often opens with a lock picked, not a decree issued.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jd Arden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798264117862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.24d","brand":"Jd Arden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48520092352767,"sku":"9798264117862","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f00a56af-dfdd-406b-9ef7-02d2036b436a.jpg?v=1778740697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-day-of-the-guillotine-jd-arden-9798264117862","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
