Description

The spirit of an event consecrated in anarchist legend is captured in these documents. The seventy-three-day Paris Commune of 1871, the largest urban insurrection in modern history, was a prelude to the revolutions of this century. Eyewitness reports, accounts of participants, and archival documents are used by the author to illustrate the many facets of a revolution that was unplanned, unguided and formless. [Book jacket].
