The truth behind the myths of the French Revolution. O Jacques Bainville, writer, academic, and prominent member of the “Action Française” — the monarchist movement that seriously threatened the Third French Republic — presents within these pages the altera pars of history. All the facts that the regime-friendly journalists and historians made sure to hide from us. And he overturns point by point the misinformation presented to us as “truth.” So yes, the famous “French Revolution” was not at all an “impulsive movement of the People against the Throne and the Church.” On the contrary, the French people remained loyal to the King and the Catholic faith, paying for it with the bloodshed of the Vendée. And if the French expressed themselves freely anywhere, it was during the Bourbon Restoration, in the year 1814, when the Senate voted and the Legislative Body approved that: “The French people freely call the Bourbon Louis-Stanislas-Xavier to the Throne.” This “freely” is one of the most truthful historical words ever spoken. At the end of this study, if there is one thing to remember, it is this phrase: “The French chose Monarchy freely.” (From the presentation on the back cover of the book)
