Between 1830 and 1848, Paris was rocked by two successful
revolutions, three failed insurrections, and seven serious
assassination attempts against King Louis-Phillippe and his sons.
The June Days of 1848 - the worst urban insurrection in history
until that time - finally brought this period to a close. Using a
wide variety of sources, including detailed court records and
hundreds of depositions of witnesses and suspects, Jill Harsin
examines revolutionary republicanism during the violent underground
movement of the July Monarchy, and describes these events in vivid
detail. The lives of 'ordinary men' are captured in their own words
as Harsin illuminates the political aspirations of the working
class. Harsin's original writing style and compelling discussions
shed new light on the particular turbulence of this era, a period
of disruption that stemmed from the contemporary working class
codes of masculinity and honour.
