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.

Angela Bird: The vendee

You may have read the excellent guide to the Vendee by Angela Bird. As well as publishing the book, she manages a website about the Vendee containing lots of information there wasn't room for in the book.

There's a new edition of the book out so if you haven't read it, get it now - or maybe its time to update your old copy.
