HISTORY OF THE WARS OF THE WEST VOLUME 1 — THÉODORE MURET

HISTORY OF THE WARS OF THE WEST — VOLUME 1

Before the Vendée, there were ordinary men: peasants, priests, country nobles. Then came the Revolution, with its decrees, requisitions, and conscription. Théodore Muret traces in this masterful first volume the origins of an uprising that would ignite the West of France and pit French against French in the name of irreconcilable political and religious convictions.

A captivating account of the Vendée and Chouannerie wars (1792-1815), which accurately conveys the atmosphere of this tragic period and the complexity of a conflict too often reduced to its excesses alone.
