In 1871, the working class of Paris, incensed by their lack of
political power and tired of beingexploited, seized control of the
capital. This book is the outstanding history of the Commune,
theheroic 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. This
revised edition, translated by Eleanor Marx, includes a foreword by
the writer and publisher Eric Hazan.
