This book examines an event that occurred during the September Massacres in 1792, a horrific series of government-sponsored mass killing of political prisoners in Paris during the French Revolution. This horrific decision was motivated by a desire for revenge, a need to assert control, a fear of conspiracy and concern about an imminent war with Prussia. Around 1,000 to 1,500 people were killed, about half of the prison population. The murder of priests, two bishops and an archbishop in Carmes Prison, a former Carmelite convent, was especially shocking. By the early 1800s these men were considered martyrs by Catholics. For conservatives, their massacre showed the danger of revolution to the established social order. Among the added plates in our copy are depictions of Pope Pius VI, Edmund Burke and Napoleon III.
