Thunder of Valmy
Buy the book from:
Young people are swept into the French Revolution as political argument gives way to invasion and the mobilisation of citizen armies. Their journey leads toward Valmy, where the revolutionary state faces a decisive test against monarchist Europe.
The novel links national politics with food, work, military recruitment and local loyalties. Trease treats the revolution as a contested social transformation rather than a simple procession from oppression to liberty.
