This book is the outstanding history of the Commune, the heroic battles fought in its defence, and the bloody massacre that ended the uprising. Its author, Lissagaray, was a young journalist who not only saw the events recounted here first-hand, butfought for the Commune on the barricades. He spent the next twenty-five years researching andwriting this history, which refutes the slanders levelled at the Communards by the ruling classesand is a vivid and valuable study in urban political revolution, one that retains its power to inspireto this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis revised edition includes a foreword by the writer and publisher Eric Hazan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Verso","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":34884393467949,"sku":"BS#12","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/0001\/8989\/products\/1_45fbaf23-a3c0-4f5a-a879-984f03e783ab.jpg?v=1602580521","url":"https:\/\/shop.redflag.org.au\/products\/the-history-of-the-paris-commune-of-1871","provider":"Red Flag Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
