Synopsis
Excerpt from No Surrender
Depopulated, and the Republicans paid dearly indeed for their triumph, no fewer than one hundred thousand men having fallen on their side. La Vendee was crushed, but never surrendered. Had the British government been properly informed by its agents of the desperate nature Of the struggle that was going on, they might, by throwing twenty thousand troops with supplies Of stores and money into La Vendee, have changed the whole course Of events, have crushed the Republic, given France a monarch, and thus spared Europe over twenty years of devastating war fare, the expenditure Of enormous sums Of money, and the loss Of millions of lives. G. A. Henty.
