Historia de la comuna de París de 1871

In March 1871, the working class of Paris, outraged by its lack of political power and tired of being exploited, took control of the capital. This book is the exceptional history of the Commune, of the heroic battles fought in its defense, and of the bloody massacre that ended the uprising. An exciting revolutionary experiment that in a few months succeeded in replacing the army with a citizen's militia, ending ecclesiastical interference in state affairs, introducing the universal right to education and granting public officials the same salary as workers. Until the repressive forces unleashed an unprecedented offensive on the French capital. A bloodbath that killed tens of thousands of rebels, shot by enemy soldiers. Lissagaray, a young journalist who not only lived through the events, but fought for the Commune on the barricades, recounts the glory of the resistance in Paris, the great achievements of the revolution and the courage of the women and men who gave their lives for the cause of freedom.
