The Paris Commune A Global History

Deluermoz's exploration of the Commune - in its Parisian core and in its national, European, and global reverberations - expands our knowledge of a history we thought we knew. Based on meticulous and widespread archival research, above all in French national and provincial archives, but also in Great Britain, Spain, and the United States, the book is both empirically rich and theoretically alert. Original in conception, generous in spirit, written with care and passion, this is an important contribution to French and transnational history. William Sewell Jr Journal of Modern History
