HISTORY OF THE WARS OF THE WEST VOLUME 2 — THÉODORE MURET

HISTORY OF THE WARS OF THE WEST — VOLUME 2

The Vendée still resists. After tracing the origins of the insurrection in the first volume, Théodore Muret delves here into the most intense episodes of this civil war: the escalation of violence, the infernal columns, the drownings at Nantes. A poignant account that spares no detail of this French tragedy.

This second volume recounts the intensification of the conflict, the republican repression, and the last flames of the Vendéen resistance, with the historical accuracy and narrative strength that make this work a reference on the wars of the West.
