About This Book

The narrative follows the search for Georges Cadoudal and the impact of royalist plotting on a network of sympathizers. It chronicles betrayals, arrests, daring escapes, and the ordeal of d'Aché's family as police dossiers, intercepted letters, and informers trace conspirators across towns and cities. Interwoven vignettes depict rural guerrilla actions by Chouan bands, the moral and practical strains on households that shelter fugitives, and the successive captures and reversals that determine who pays the penalty and who is set free.
