For Altar and Throne: The Rising in the Vendee

This beautifully illustrated book reads like a novel but is an historical part of the French Revolution that is often left out of the history books. A must read! The aim of this modest book is to commemorate the visit of the Successor of St. Peter to the Vendee, where the people remained faithful to the Vicar of Christ and attached to their parishes and their priests, in spite of the cruelty of persecution to which they were subjected during the French Revolution. There is no more noble or inspiring story in th entire history of the Chrch than that of the heroic struggle of the people of the Vendee to defend their altars and their King. - Michael Davies
