The A to Z of the French Revolution
 Author: Paul R. Hanson The A to Z of the French Revolution (The A to Z Guide Series) Scarecrow Press 2007 Format: epub Size: 2.6 Mb Language: English The French Revolution remains the most examined event and period in world history. Most historians would argue that it was the first "modern" revolution, an event so momentous that it changed the very meaning of the word revolution to its current connotation of a political and/or social upheaval that marks a decisive break with the past, moving the society in a forward or progressive direction. No revolution has occurred since 1789 without making reference to this first revolution, and most have been measured against it. When revolution shook the foundations of the Old Regime in France, shock waves reverberated throughout the western world. The A to Z of the French Revolution examines the causes and origins; the roles of significant persons; crucial events and turning points; important institutions and organizations; and the economic, social, and intellectual factors involved in the event that gave birth to the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, the introduction of universal manhood suffrage, and the Napoleonic Empire. An introductory essay, chronology, and comprehensive bibliography complement the more than 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries, making this a great resource for students and history enthusiasts alike.

Massacre: The Life and Death of the Paris Commune of 1871
 Author: John M. Merriman Massacre: The Life and Death of the Paris Commune of 1871 Yale University Press 2014 Format: epub/pdf Size: 5 Mb Language: English One of the most dramatic chapters in the history of nineteenth-century Europe, the Commune of 1871 was an eclectic revolutionary government that held power in Paris across eight weeks between 18 March and 28 May. Its brief rule ended in ‘Bloody Week’ – the brutal massacre of as many as 15,000 Parisians, and perhaps even more, who perished at the hands of the provisional government’s forces. By then, the city’s boulevards had been torched and its monuments toppled. More than 40,000 Parisians were investigated, imprisoned or forced into exile – a purging of Parisian society by a conservative national government whose supporters were considerably more horrified by a pile of rubble than the many deaths of the resisters. In this gripping narrative, John Merriman explores the radical and revolutionary roots of the Commune, painting vivid portraits of the Communards – the ordinary workers, famous artists and extraordinary fire-starting women – and their daily lives behind the barricades, and examining the ramifications of the Commune on the role of the state and sovereignty in France and modern Europe. Enthralling, evocative and deeply moving, this narrative account offers a full picture of a defining moment in the evolution of state terror and popular resistance.

 Author: Peter M. Chaitin The Coastal War - Chesapeake Bay to Rio Grande (Civil War Series) Time-Life Books 1984 Format: PDF Pages: 184 Language: English Size: 34.4 MB This volume of the Civil War series looks at the Federal efforts to capture footholds in Florida, Alabama, South Carolina and North Carolina. Amphibious landings in New Orleans and New Bern, NC would contribute to the Federal victory in the War as the Confederacy was slowly strangled. The Battles of Fort Wagner, Mobile Bay, the near-comic surrender of New Orleans, Fort Fisher ,and the story of the Swamp Angel are all told here. As always in the T-L Civil War series, this volume is a very engaging. The writing is excellent and it is backed up by great photos, artwork and maps (although the reliance on contemporary maps is irritating in places).
