To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
BY 22 May, some twenty military courts were in operation, with bloody consequences. A decree of the Government of National Defence issued on 2 October 1870, during the war and Prussian siege, permitted courts-martial during times of war and granted them the power to condemn to death both soldiers and civilians. Thiers took advantage of this decree after his forces had overrun Paris, using it to insist that Versaillais military courts did indeed fall within the law. It helped, too, that Thiers an...d the Versaillais continued to assert that the Communards were not political opponents, refugees or legitimate belligerents, but rather ordinary criminals. As such, he considered them to be under his jurisdiction and deserving of no special treatment.1 The senior Versaillais commanders were not interested in legal precedents for the martial law tribunals they set up or, in a few cases, presided over, which failed to act within the law. The right to appeal convictions was systematically ignored.2 The Lobau barracks became the most infamous Versaillais abattoir.
