The Paris Commune: A Brief History (Reinventions of the Paris Commune)

It was very concise and readable. Great book for book review clubs

The author focuses on real people in the neighborhoods rather than on prominent politicians, with special emphasis on Parisian women who seized the opportunity to advance both their class and their gender interests. If you’re looking for a vivid overview of this revolutionary outbreak in a manageable read, this is the book for you.
