Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an early testament to the remarkable events surrounding the birth of the French National Guard. Chronicling the formation and proceedings of the very first National Guard Club, it is a first-hand account of the hopes, fears, and motivations of the men who would usher in a new era of liberty and civic duty in France. The decrees passed in this club by deputies from all corners of the country would go on to shape not only the organization of the revolutionary army but also the broader contours of the French Revolution itself. The author provides the historical context needed to understand this momentous period, placing the formation of the National Guard Club within the broader social and political upheaval of the time. They trace the development of the club, from its origins in the aftermath of the storming of the Bastille to its eventual dissolution following the passage of decrees establishing the National Guard as the official armed force of the nation. Throughout, the author presents an in-depth examination of the club's debates and discussions. These men were not only soldiers but also philosophers and statesmen, and their ideas about the role of the citizen in a free society would profoundly influence the course of the Revolution. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the French Revolution and a fascinating glimpse into the minds of the men and women who made it happen.
