Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits: The crime spree that gripped Belle Epoque Paris

This is the story of the Bonnot Gang, anarchists who subjected Paris to a six-month streak of violent bank robberies. We hear the story from the perspective of a couple: Victor Kibaltchiche and Rirette Maîtrejean, fellow anarchists who rejected the violence of Bonnot and his gang but were nevertheless persecuted for their association with the robberies. A vibrant illustration of Parisian society in 1911-1912 and a thrilling true crime story. John Merriman is a celebrated professor of History at Yale University and the author of several other books, including The Dynamite Club: How a Bombing in Fin-de-Siecle Paris Ignited the Age of Modern Terror and Massacre: The Life and Death of the Paris Commune.
