• catalog abstract ""The French Revolution of 1789 did not set out to end the French monarchy. It aimed to create liberal constitutional government, with the king continuing to be responsible for national administration. This objective was believed to have been attained by the establishment of the Constitution of September 1791"--BOOK JACKET. "However, radicals were not satisfied and France's declaration of war against Austria in April 1792 enhanced fears of counter-revolution led by aristocratic emigre forces based in Coblenz. Although the king tried to distance himself from the aristocratic faction, radical politicians agitated increasingly against the monarchy. On the fatal day of the 10 August 1792, Louis XVI was abandoned by the constitutionalists, and only the Swiss Guards, reacting autonomously to an impossible situation, made a real effort to protect him."--BOOK JACKET. "The high drama of the crucial twenty-four hours in Paris from the afternoon of 9 August offers the unity of time and place of classical tragedy. Rodney Allen describes in a detail never attempted before what happened, through a careful analysis of eyewitness accounts, official minutes of institutions, and journalist reports."--BOOK JACKET. "This heart-rending story of human and political tragedy should be required reading for anyone gripped by the drama of the French Revolution and wishing to learn more about one of the key turning points in European history."--Jacket.".
