The Dynamite Club: How a Bombing in Fin-de-Siècle Paris Ignited the Age of Modern Terror Merriman, John M. Yale University Press, 2016

Distinguished historian John Merriman maintains that the Age of Modern Terror began in Paris on February 12, 1894, when anarchist Emile Henry set off a bomb in the Café Terminus, killing one and wounding twenty French citizens. The true story of the circumstances that led a young radical to commit a cold-blooded act of violence against innocent civilians makes for riveting reading, shedding new light on the terrorist mindset and on the subsequent worldwide rise of anarchism by deed. Merriman’s fascinating study of modern history’s first terrorists, emboldened by the invention of dynamite, reveals much about the terror of today.

Massacre : The Life and Death of the Paris Commune of 1871 John M. Merriman Yale University Press, Yale University Press, New Haven, CT, 2014

One of the most dramatic chapters in the history of nineteenth-century Europe, the Commune of 1871 was an eclectic revolutionary government that held power in Paris across eight weeks between 18 March and 28 May. Its brief rule ended in ‘Bloody Week’ – the brutal massacre of as many as 15,000 Parisians, and perhaps even more, who perished at the hands of the provisional government’s forces. By then, the city’s boulevards had been torched and its monuments toppled. More than 40,000 Parisians were investigated, imprisoned or forced into exile – a purging of Parisian society by a conservative national government whose supporters were considerably more horrified by a pile of rubble than the many deaths of the resisters. In this gripping narrative, John Merriman explores the radical and revolutionary roots of the Commune, painting vivid portraits of the Communards – the ordinary workers, famous artists and extraordinary fire-starting women – and their daily lives behind the barricades, and examining the ramifications of the Commune on the role of the state and sovereignty in France and modern Europe. Enthralling, evocative and deeply moving, this narrative account offers a full picture of a defining moment in the evolution of state terror and popular resistance.

Edo and Paris : Urban Life and the State in the Early Modern Era McClain, James L. (editor);Merriman, John M. (editor);Kaoru, Ugawa (editor) Cornell University Press, 1997 jan 01

A book that will change the way we think about the relationship between city and nation, __Edo and Paris__ offers a dazzling view of daily life and urban development in two early modern cities. In August 1590, Tokugawa Ieyasu marched into the drab little fishing village of Edo. Less than four years later and on the other side of the world, the newly crowned Henry IV fought his way into a Paris rife with disease and decay. By 1700, Paris had become the political center of France and a major European metropolis. Known today as Tokyo, the Edo from which the Shogun ruled Japan in 1700 was the world's most populous city. __Edo and Paris__ compares how the Tokugawas and the Bourbons crafted their states and built their capitals. It also provides rich detail about the experiences of ordinary people, covering topics from the nature of popular culture to forms of resistance to authority in both cities. In nineteen chapters accompanied by period illustrations and maps, experts from a wide variety of fields offer a vibrant portrait not of one Edo and one Paris, but of many.

"Balazuc is a tiny medieval village carved into a limestone cliff that towers above the Ardeche River in southeastern France. Its dramatic landscape and Mediterranean climate make it a lovely destination for summer visitors, but for its residents over the centuries life in Balazuc has been harsh. At times Balazuc has prospered, most notably in the nineteenth century through the cultivation of "the golden tree" and the silkworms it fed, a process whose rigors and rewards are gleefully detailed in this splendid book. But the rewards of silk production proved fleeting, leaving only the rigors of life on the "tormented soil."" "Historical events from the French Revolution, through the Paris Commune and the two world wars, sent ripples through this isolated region, but the continuities of everyday life remained strong. Twenty-eight men from Balazuc signed the list of grievances against the king in the spring of 1789; the families of nineteen still live in the village. This is a story of resilience. It is the French story of tensions between Paris and the village expressed in battles over the school, the church, the council, and people's livelihoods. Most of all it is a love letter from an acclaimed historian who with his family has made Balazuc his adopted home. With a new "golden tree," tourism, now flourishing, the struggles of the village to prosper and to retain its identity continue, transmuted to a world of cell phones and an imagined village past."--Jacket

Ballad of the anarchist bandits : the crime spree that gripped Belle Époque Paris John M Merriman Bold Type Books, First edition, New York, 2017

The thrilling story of the Bonnot Gang, a band of anarchist bank robbers whose crimes terrorized Belle Ã?oque Paris, and whose escapades reflected the fast-paced, dizzyingly modern, and increasingly violent period on the eve of World War I. For six terrifying months in 1911-1912, the citizens of Paris were gripped by a violent crime streak. A group of bandits went on a rampage throughout the city and its suburbs, robbing banks and wealthy Parisians, killing anyone who got in their way, and always managing to stay one step ahead of the police. But Jules Bonnot and the Bonnot Gang weren't just ordinary criminals; they were anarchists, motivated by the rampant inequality and poverty in Paris. John Merriman tells this story through the eyes of two young, idealistic lovers: Victor Kibaltchiche (later the famed Russian revolutionary and writer Victor Serge) and Rirette MaÃ®ejean, who chronicled the Bonnot crime spree in the radical newspaper L'Anarchie . While wealthy Parisians frequented restaurants on the Champs-Ã?ysÃ©, attended performances at the magnificent new opera house, and enjoyed the decadence of the so-called Belle Ã?oque, Victor, Rirette, and their friends occupied a vast sprawl of dank apartments, bleak canals, and smoky factories. Victor and Rirette rejected the violence of Bonnot and his cronies, but to the police it made no difference. Victor was imprisoned for years for his anarchist beliefs, Bonnot was hunted down and shot dead, and his fellow bandits were sentenced to death by guillotine or lifelong imprisonment. Fast-paced and gripping, Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits is a tale of idealists and lost causes—and a vivid evocation of Paris in the dizzying years before the horrors of World War I were unleashed.

A HISTORY OF MODERN EUROPE VOLUME TWO FROM THE FRENCB REVOLUTION TO THE PRSENT JOHN MERRIAMN W. W. Norton & Company, Incorporated, New York, London, England, 1996

Why a new history of modern Europe? The collapse of Communism in 1989- 1990 and the breakup of the Soviet Union have redrawn the map of Central and Eastern Europe. A reconfigured Europe calls for a new history. This survey of modern European history explores the roots of the economic and political problems that continue to beset Western and Eastern Europe. For example, it shows how the simmering ethnic tensions that burst into bloody civil war in Bosnia after the disintegration of Yugoslavia echoed the quarrels that eroded the stately Habsburg monarchy a century earlier. To convey an understanding of the complex tensions that still exist in Europe, this survey offers balanced coverage of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as of the West. I have adopted a narrative framework with the goals of both telling a story and analyzing the central themes of the European experience. Each chapter of A History of Modern Europe can be read as part of a larger, interconnected story. Moreover, this book stresses the dynamics of economic, social, and political change. - Preface.

Routledge Revivals: French Cities in the Nineteenth Century (1981) John M. Merriman Routledge, Routledge Revivals, 2021

Originally published in 1981, __French Cities in the Nineteenth Century__ analyses large-scale processes of social change and how this affected the growth of towns and cities of nineteenth century France. The book looks at how this change affected the politics life of France during this period, and looks in depth at how the city was organised and how it worked. Urbanization created new uses of space, and new concerns for the people that lived among them. The book looks at social change as a collective experience for the people of France and how this transformed the societies in which they lived.

History on the margins : people and places in the emergence of modern France Merriman, John University of Nebraska Press, Book collections on Project MUSE, London, 2018

In his distinguished career as a historian of modern France, John Merriman has published ten books and scores of scholarly articles. This volume collects some of his most notable and significant explorations of French history and culture. In a wide-ranging introduction Merriman reflects on his decades of research and on his life, lived increasingly in France. At the beginning of his career he was determined to be not a narrow specialist but a historian who engaged with all the regions of France. So he set himself the goal of doing archival research in every single département of the country. A permanent resident of the small village of Balazuc in the Ardèche for more than twenty-five years, he laments what he sees as the over-professionalization of history at the expense of passion for one's field. Yet Merriman is no cranky, tweed-bound scholar. Beloved by generations of historians of France, many of whom he has mentored (both as a graduate advisor and more informally), Merriman offers reflections on his life in history that will be of interest to a broad audience of historians.

Ballad of the anarchist bandits : the crime spree that gripped Belle Époque Paris John M. Merriman Bold Type Books, First edition., New York State, 2017

Paris, 1911. Picasso, Debussy, And Proust Were Revolutionizing Art, Music, And Literature. Electricity Had Transformed The City Of Lights. And The Parisian Elites Were Mad About Their Fancy New Cars. The Belle Époque Was Well Underway, Yet It Was Not Without Incident. That Year, Paris Was Gripped By A Violent Crime Streak That Obsessed And Frightened Its Citizens. Before Bonnie And Clyde And John Dillinger, The Bonnot Gang, Led By The Coarse Jules Bonnot, Captured The Minds Of A Nation With Their Robin Hood-esque Capers. With Guns Blazing, The Bonnot Gang Robbed Banks And Wealthy Parisians And Killed Anyone Who Got In Their Way In Spectacularly Cinematic Fashion--all In The Name Of Their Particular Brand Of Anarchism. In Ballad Of The Anarchist Bandits, John Merriman Describes The Bonnot Gang's Murderous Tear And The Parisian Police Force's Botched Efforts To Stop Them. At The Heart Of The Book Are Two Anarchist Idealists Who Wanted To Find An Alternative To Bonnot's Crimes And The French Government's Unchecked Violence. Victor Kibaltchiche And Rirette Maîtrejean Met And Fell In Love At An Anarchist Rally, And Together Ran The Radical Parisian Newspaper L'anarchie, Which Covered The Bonnot Gang With Great Sympathy. The Couple And Their Anarchist Friends Occupied A World Far Apart From The Opulent Paris Of The Champs-Élysées. Their Paris Was A Vast City Of Impoverished Workers Who Lived Near Bleak Canals, Cemeteries, And Empty Lots Around Smoky Factories. Victor And Rirette Found Hope In Radical Politics, Bonnot And His Gang In Crime, But None Could Escape The Full Might Of The French Military. The Lovers Were Arrested And Imprisoned For Their Political Views, Bonnot Was Murdered After An Hours-long Standoff With The Police, And His Gang Was Hunted Down And Sentenced To Death By Guillotine Or Lifelong Imprisonment. Ballad Of The Anarchist Bandits Is A Classic Tale Of Lost Causes, Tragic Heroes, And The True Costs Of Justice And Revenge.

The Paris Commune lasted for only 64 days in 1871, but during that short time it gave rise to some of the grandest political dreams of the nineteenth century—before culminating in horrific violence.Following the disastrous French defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, hungry and politically disenchanted Parisians took up arms against their government in the name of a more just society. They expelled loyalists and soldiers and erected barricades in the streets. In __Massacre__, John Merriman introduces a cast of inimitable Communards—from __les pétroleuses__ (female incendiaries) to the painter Gustave Courbet—whose idealism fueled a revolution. And he vividly recreates the Commune’s chaotic and bloody end when 30,000 troops stormed the city, burning half of Paris and executing captured Communards en masse.A stirring evocation of the spring when Paris was ablaze with cannon fire and its citizens were their own masters, __Massacre__ reveals how the indomitable spirit of the Commune shook the very foundations of Europe.

The dynamite club : the bombing of the Cafâe Terminus and the birth of modern terrorism in fin-de-siáecle Paris John M. Merriman, John Merriman Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company, New York, New York State, 2009

The fascinating story of a long-forgotten "war on terror" that has much in common with our own On a February evening in 1894, a young radical intellectual named Émile Henry drank two beers at an upscale Parisian restaurant, then left behind a bomb as a parting gift. This incident, which rocked the French capital, lies at the heart of The Dynamite Club, a mesmerizing account of Henry and his cohorts and the war they waged against the bourgeoisie—setting off bombs in public places, killing the president of France, and eventually assassinating President McKinley in 1901. Paris in the belle époque was a place of leisure, elegance, and power. Newly electrified, the city’s wide boulevards were lined with posh department stores and outdoor cafés. But prosperity was limited to a few. Most lived in dire poverty, and workers and intellectuals found common cause in a political philosophy—anarchism—that embraced the overthrow of the state by any means necessary. Yet in targeting civilians to achieve their ends, the dynamite bombers charted a new course. Seeking martyrdom, believing fervently in their goal, and provoking a massive government reaction that only increased their ranks, these "evildoers" became, in effect, the first terrorists in modern history. Surprising and provocative, The Dynamite Club is a brilliantly researched account that illuminates a period of dramatic social and political change—and subtly asks us to reflect upon our own.

The Margins of City Life : Explorations on the French Urban Frontier, 1815-1851 John M. Merriman IRL Press at Oxford University Press, Oxford University Press USA, New York, 1991

The Margins of Urban Life brings to life the "floating worlds of the periphery" in nineteenth-century French cities--the world of beggars, the most miserable prostitutes, ragpickers, casual labor, and unwanted people; the location of slaughterhouses, gas factories, tanneries, and, increasingly, even executions. The men and women of the suburbs and faubourgs were long identified by urban elites and government officials with the turbulent "dangerous classes" who might one day fall upon the wealthy quarters of the center. Merriman analyzes and evokes the social, class, neighborhood, cultural, and political solidarities--the shared sense of not belonging--that made the marginal people in peripheral places emerge as contenders for political power. His investigation explores the world of the Catalan agricultural laborers, the textile workers of the "high town" of Reims, the bitter rivalry between Catholic and Protestant workers in the faubourge of Nimes, the haven for under- and unemployed proletarians in Ingouville, above Le Havre, and France's strange frontier town, Napoléon-Vendée.

Ballad of the anarchist bandits : the crime spree that gripped Belle Époque Paris John M. Merriman PublicAffairs, First edition., New York State, 2017

Paris, 1911. Picasso, Debussy, And Proust Were Revolutionizing Art, Music, And Literature. Electricity Had Transformed The City Of Lights. And The Parisian Elites Were Mad About Their Fancy New Cars. The Belle Époque Was Well Underway, Yet It Was Not Without Incident. That Year, Paris Was Gripped By A Violent Crime Streak That Obsessed And Frightened Its Citizens. Before Bonnie And Clyde And John Dillinger, The Bonnot Gang, Led By The Coarse Jules Bonnot, Captured The Minds Of A Nation With Their Robin Hood-esque Capers. With Guns Blazing, The Bonnot Gang Robbed Banks And Wealthy Parisians And Killed Anyone Who Got In Their Way In Spectacularly Cinematic Fashion--all In The Name Of Their Particular Brand Of Anarchism. In Ballad Of The Anarchist Bandits, John Merriman Describes The Bonnot Gang's Murderous Tear And The Parisian Police Force's Botched Efforts To Stop Them. At The Heart Of The Book Are Two Anarchist Idealists Who Wanted To Find An Alternative To Bonnot's Crimes And The French Government's Unchecked Violence. Victor Kibaltchiche And Rirette Maîtrejean Met And Fell In Love At An Anarchist Rally, And Together Ran The Radical Parisian Newspaper L'anarchie, Which Covered The Bonnot Gang With Great Sympathy. The Couple And Their Anarchist Friends Occupied A World Far Apart From The Opulent Paris Of The Champs-Élysées. Their Paris Was A Vast City Of Impoverished Workers Who Lived Near Bleak Canals, Cemeteries, And Empty Lots Around Smoky Factories. Victor And Rirette Found Hope In Radical Politics, Bonnot And His Gang In Crime, But None Could Escape The Full Might Of The French Military. The Lovers Were Arrested And Imprisoned For Their Political Views, Bonnot Was Murdered After An Hours-long Standoff With The Police, And His Gang Was Hunted Down And Sentenced To Death By Guillotine Or Lifelong Imprisonment. Ballad Of The Anarchist Bandits Is A Classic Tale Of Lost Causes, Tragic Heroes, And The True Costs Of Justice And Revenge.

Police Stories : Building the French State, 1815-1851 John M. Merriman IRL Press at Oxford University Press, Oxford University Press USA, New York, 2006

In the first half of nineteenth century France was characterized by extraordinary regional and linguistic diversity but the state increasingly became a central force in the lives of its citizens. One way that it did so was through its police force, which, as John Merriman details in this work, developed into a modern profession during this period. He describes the careers of policemen, how they were hired, the difficulties they faced and successes they enjoyed. Through the lives of these men, he shows how the political issues of the day, as well as incompetence and imprudence, could bring a sudden, inglorious end to their work in the police. His study of these men underscores how the police helped the state affirm its primacy, winning the allegiance, or at least the obedience, of the French people. Reconstructing events from police reports, Merriman chronicles the street life of Frances's growing towns and cities through the prism of the people who enforced its laws and maintained the peace. Police were on the scene to investigate suicides and deaths; break up workers' strikes and fights among brawling drunkards; adjudicate in cases of merchants cheating customers; deal with cases of missing persons; and control political militants. He also looks at their frequent encounters while policing outsiders, such as itinerant workers, beggars, bands of traveling thieves, prostitutes, and abandoned children. Based on a wealth of primary research from over seventy archives, Merriman offers an evocative Tour de France seen through the eyes of provincial policemen and the people they encountered on their rounds.

Ballad of the anarchist bandits : the crime spree that gripped Belle Époque Paris Merriman, John Nation Books, First edition., New York State, 2017

**The thrilling story of the Bonnot Gang, a band of anarchist bank robbers whose crimes terrorized Belle Époque Paris, and whose escapades reflected the fast-paced, dizzyingly modern, and increasingly violent period on the eve of World War I.**For six terrifying months in 1911-1912, the citizens of Paris were gripped by a violent crime streak. A group of bandits went on a rampage throughout the city and its suburbs, robbing banks and wealthy Parisians, killing anyone who got in their way, and always managing to stay one step ahead of the police. But Jules Bonnot and the Bonnot Gang weren't just ordinary criminals; they were anarchists, motivated by the rampant inequality and poverty in Paris. John Merriman tells this story through the eyes of two young, idealistic lovers: Victor Kibaltchiche (later the famed Russian revolutionary and writer Victor Serge) and Rirette Maîtrejean, who chronicled the Bonnot crime spree in the radical newspaper *L'Anarchie*. While wealthy Parisians frequented restaurants on the Champs-Élysées, attended performances at the magnificent new opera house, and enjoyed the decadence of the so-called Belle Époque, Victor, Rirette, and their friends occupied a vast sprawl of dank apartments, bleak canals, and smoky factories. Victor and Rirette rejected the violence of Bonnot and his cronies, but to the police it made no difference. Victor was imprisoned for years for his anarchist beliefs, Bonnot was hunted down and shot dead, and his fellow bandits were sentenced to death by guillotine or lifelong imprisonment. Fast-paced and gripping, *Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits* is a tale of idealists and lost causes--and a vivid evocation of Paris in the dizzying years before the horrors of World War I were unleashed.Auszeichnung : isbn searchedwords : 108000

The Margins of City Life : Explorations on the French Urban Frontier, 1815-1851 John M. Merriman IRL Press at Oxford University Press, 1, 1991

The Margins of Urban Life brings to life the "floating worlds of the periphery" in nineteenth-century French cities--the world of beggars, the most miserable prostitutes, ragpickers, casual labor, and unwanted people; the location of slaughterhouses, gas factories, tanneries, and, increasingly, even executions. The men and women of the suburbs and faubourgs were long identified by urban elites and government officials with the turbulent "dangerous classes" who might one day fall upon the wealthy quarters of the center. Merriman analyzes and evokes the social, class, neighborhood, cultural, and political solidarities--the shared sense of not belonging--that made the marginal people in peripheral places emerge as contenders for political power. His investigation explores the world of the Catalan agricultural laborers, the textile workers of the "high town" of Reims, the bitter rivalry between Catholic and Protestant workers in the faubourge of Nimes, the haven for under- and unemployed proletarians in Ingouville, above Le Havre, and France's strange frontier town, Napoléon-Vendée.

This incident, which rocked the French capital, lies at the heart of The Dynamite Club, a mesmerizing account of Henry and his cohorts and the war they waged against the bourgeoisie—setting off bombs in public places, killing the president of France, and eventually assassinating President McKinley in 1901. Paris in the belle époque was a place of leisure, elegance, and power. Newly electrified, the city’s wide boulevards were lined with posh department stores and outdoor cafés. But prosperity was limited to a few. Most lived in dire poverty, and workers and intellectuals found common cause in a political philosophy—anarchism—that embraced the overthrow of the state by any means necessary. Yet in targeting civilians to achieve their ends, the dynamite bombers charted a new course. Seeking martyrdom, believing fervently in their goal, and provoking a massive government reaction that only increased their ranks, these "evildoers" became, in effect, the first terrorists in modern history. Surprising and provocative, The Dynamite Club is a brilliantly researched account that illuminates a period of dramatic social and political change—and subtly asks us to reflect upon our own.

Ballad of the anarchist bandits: the crime spree that gripped Belle Époque Paris Bonnot Gang.;Bonnot, Jules;Maîtrejean, Rirette;Merriman, John M.;Serge, Victor PublicAffairs;Nation Books, First edition., New York State, 2017

Le rabat de couverture rapporte : "For six terrifying months in 1911-1912, the citizens of Paris were gripped by a violent crime streak. A group of bandits went on a rampage throughout the city and its suburbs, robbing banks and wealthy Parisians, killing anyone who got in their way, and always managing to stay one step ahead of the police. But Jules Bonnot and the Bonnot Gang weren't just ordinary criminals; they were anarchists, motivated by the rampant inequality and poverty in Paris. John Merriman tells this story through the eyes of two young, idealistic lovers: Victor Kibaltchiche (later the famed Russian revolutionary and writer Victor Serge) and Rirette Maîtrejean, who chronicled the Bonnot crime spree in the radical newspaper L'Anarchie. While wealthy Parisians frequented restaurants on the Champs-Élysées, attended performances at the magnificent new opera house, and enjoyed the decadence of the so-called Belle Époque, Victor, Rirette, and their friends occupied a vast sprawl of dank apartments, bleak canals, and smoky factories. Victor and Rirette rejected the violence of Bonnot and his cronies, but to the police it made no difference. Victor was imprisoned for years for his anarchist beliefs, Bonnot was hunted down and shot dead, and his fellow bandits were sentenced to death by guillotine or lifelong imprisonment. Fast-paced and gripping, Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits is a tale of idealists and lost causes--and a vivid evocation of Paris in the dizzying years before the horrors of World War I were unleashed."

A History of Modern Europe, Second Edition: From the Renaissance to the Age of Napoleon (Volume 1) Merriman Ph.D., John W. W. Norton & Company, Incorporated, 2nd ed., New York, New York State, 2004

Why a new history of modern Europe? The collapse of Communism in 1989- 1990 and the breakup of the Soviet Union have redrawn the map of Central and Eastern Europe. A reconfigured Europe calls for a new history. This survey of modern European history explores the roots of the economic and political problems that continue to beset Western and Eastern Europe. For example, it shows how the simmering ethnic tensions that burst into bloody civil war in Bosnia after the disintegration of Yugoslavia echoed the quarrels that eroded the stately Habsburg monarchy a century earlier. To convey an understanding of the complex tensions that still exist in Europe, this survey offers balanced coverage of Russia and Eastern Europe, as well as of the West. I have adopted a narrative framework with the goals of both telling a story and analyzing the central themes of the European experience. Each chapter of A History of Modern Europe can be read as part of a larger, interconnected story. Moreover, this book stresses the dynamics of economic, social, and political change. - Preface.
