Decorative maps of the Vendée wars

The counter-revolutionary Vendée wars have until recently been written out of history by the French government. Why? because the new revolutionary government at the time attempted to exterminate the people of the Vendée.

These two decorative maps of the Vendée wars by Lawrence Dunn provide an excellent authoritative summary of the main events - a must for anyone interested in the Vendée and it's history. There are both English and French versions of these maps.

A book by Tim Hayward is available in English giving more details of this time.
