Paris Commune chapters are reactionary, misleading
dahszil
If the two chapters on the Paris Commune seems written by a pollyanna and dubious on her sources and biased writing. Just read Wikipedia's page on the Paris Commune, or most sources. It is totally different. If anything the communards were the moderate and nasty Adolphe Thiers and expoitative were much more bloodthirsty than the communards. The communards should have went all the way to Versailles at the beginning to arrest Thiers and company. The brutal crushing of the the Paris Commune of 1871 is one of history's great tragedies. This is one of most right wing biased "history" of the Paris Commune. If these chapters are representative of the whole audio book, don't waste your time.
