Reviews
"This compelling account of the Paris Commune makes a complicated event understandable and vivid. Eichner's rich portraits bring to life the freedom and empowerment the Communards experienced, juxtaposed with the bloody repression of its final days."- Sarah Fishman, author of From Vichy to the Sexual Revolution: Gender and Family Life in Postwar France
Like the Commune itself, Eichner's history is brief, complex, and full of drama. A fresh and compelling account for scholars and students of 1871 and its legacies.- Roxanne Panchasi, author of Future Tense: The Culture of Anticipation in France between the Wars

"Eichner's narrative weaves together many aspects-religious secularism, economic policies, cooperative economics and property rights, education, culture, and the arts-precisely because the Commune affected all of it. The Paris Commune is an enjoyable, brilliant, scholarly, and readable adventure."- Capital & Class
"[An] informative and moving new history."- David A. Bell, The Nation
