Title: Banners of the king
Description: One of the few books to be written in English on the wars of Vendee 1793 - 94 that followed the French Revolution.  This war (or more properly series of conflicts) was a counter-revolution inspired by religious and aristocratic elements in western France and which ended by the defeat of the rebels at Savenay in the Loire Valley. The book is valuable to the historian who does not want necessarily to translate French texts and, although it is sometimes biased towards the rebel cause, is well worth reading for those interested in the subject.
