Publisher's Synopsis
The Revolution of 1871, written by Nesta H. Webster, is a historical account of the Paris Commune, a revolutionary socialist government that ruled Paris from March to May 1871. The book provides a detailed analysis of the events leading up to the Commune, including the Franco-Prussian War, the fall of Napoleon III, and the siege of Paris. It also examines the social and political conditions that gave rise to the Commune and the various factions that participated in its formation and governance. Webster's work delves into the Commune's policies and actions, including its attempts to establish a more equitable society through measures such as the abolition of rents and the establishment of worker cooperatives. The book also explores the Commune's relationship with the French government and the army, as well as its eventual defeat and the brutal suppression that followed. The Revolution of 1871 is a comprehensive and well-researched account of a significant moment in French history, and it provides valuable insights into the dynamics of revolutionary movements and the challenges of building a socialist society. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of socialism, the Paris Commune, or the broader history of revolutionary movements.THIS 30 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: World Revolution Or the Plot Against Civilization, by Nesta H.
