Ballad of the Anarchist Bandits

The Crime Spree that Gripped Belle Époque Paris

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Angered by the contrast between Belle Époque Paris and the lives of the city’s poor, Jules Bonnet and his gang embarked on an anarchic crime spree, robbing banks and the wealthy, and murdering innocent bystanders. This narrative history follows their exploits, as recorded in the L’Anarchie by Victor Serge and his lover; the support they received; and how they eventually paid the ultimate price for their violence.
