About This Book
***Giant Cardinal 4th Printing:***
***Down the street came a parade of children;*** they were beating a small keg for a drum and playing homemade flutes. And on the ends of improvised pikes, they bore the heads of three cats, still dripping blood. ***After witnessing the continuing spectacle of human heads being daily paraded through Parisian streets, the French children had become little monsters.***
***Paris was so filled with hatred for everyone and everything that reason, itself, stood decapitated.*** So during the French Revolution, Parisians and their society sank into abject depravity. This was the society that Jean Paul Marin, who at the age of twenty, was **beaten and imprisoned by the noble class and by the age of twenty five helped create the inhumane society required for the great bloodletting of the Napoleonic wars.*--GoodReads Review***
