Book excerpt: When Necker, in the financial distress of the autumn of 1789, appealed for a voluntary contribution from all landowners, the Order gave him a third of the revenue of its French commanderies, and later it pledged its credit for 500,000 francs to the destitute Louis XVI., to help him in the flight that ended so disastrously at Varennes. This last act put it in definite opposition to the Revolution.

This book was released on 2018-04-04 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the Great Siege of 1565, Malta became known as the impregnable island. It was the home of the Knights of St. John, that highly admired Christian Army formed of the upper crust of Europe's nobility. And yet, when Napoleon's fleet turned up at its shores in June 1798, the knights were in a state of disarray. They were incapable of planning or executing a credible defence strategy, much to Europe's amazement. It was difficult to conceive how centuries of glorious victories could culminate in the disgraceful banishment that followed the surrender of Malta. These are the memoirs of Pierre-Jean Doublet who was the Grand Master's secretary for the French Langue. He witnessed the events as they unfolded and left a detailed account of what took place and what, in his view, led to such an unpredictable outcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bosredon de Ransijat spent more than 30 years living among the Maltese, first as a Knight of the Order and later as President of the Government Commission during the French occupation. In his latter role he was blockaded with the French garrison within the city walls of Valletta. In his diary he describes just how determined they were to keep Malta in French hands and the hardships they endured during this two-year standoff with the Maltese country folk and the English Navy. Ransijat also gives his own in-depth analysis as to why the Maltese were glad to see the end the Order's rule and also why they turned so quickly against their new French rulers.In determining the causes of the Maltese uprising, Ransijat analyses the relationship between the Maltese and the knights and goes back to the days when the Order first arrived in Malta. Interestingly enough he also analyses the role played by the English who ran the naval blockade, and that of the Maltese who blockaded from land. Who played the decisive role between the two is still debated to this very day within Maltese circles. Ransijat's diary reveals a number of disturbing facts about the blockade not only about the deep suffering it caused but also about the divisions that existed between the Maltese village folk and the rest of the population. While it is important to commemorate the bravery shown by the Maltese one cannot ignore the tragic reality that a number of Maltese who sympathized with the French were taken to the island of Comino and executed by their fellow countrymen. Ransijat's memoirs are undoubtedly among the most important historic documents concerning the French occupation of Malta, for one very simple reason: he was there.Could the French have kept possession of Malta? Could the English have ousted the French garrison without the help of the Maltese? Conversely, could the Maltese have succeeded without the English? Many questions and many opinions depending on who you ask. With over ten thousand lives lost due to hunger and malnutrition the Maltese paid a heavy price to hand over the island to yet another foreign power. Ten thousand Maltese lives that regrettably have never been commemorated to this very day like they were some form of minor collateral damage. It is also clear that the French perspective of Maltese history has been blatantly overlooked for over two centuries giving rise to many biased perceptions that have been perpetuated across generations. This book is not only about the French occupation, it is also about Maltese society in the late 18th century and above all it is the story of an extraordinary man who was bold enough to defend his deepest personal convictions.
Download or read book Autopsy of Revolution written by Jacques Ellul and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this significant and very timely book, the author of The Technological Society, The Political Illusion, and Propaganda asks a tremendous question and shows that the answer we give it is decisive for the future of our society: Can we learn from history what revolution really is necessary for our survival? That is, can we distinguish between senseless, ineffectual revolt or rebellion and a genuine revolution that can alter fundamentals? In his basic, closely reasoned way, Jacques Ellul examines past and recent history in light of the current overwhelming preoccupation with revolution, which seems to have become the daily bread of Western man's thoughts and actions, the immediate explanation for every historical movement. Ellul insists on examining the possibility that today we are projecting onto past events a fairly recent and distorted image of revolution. The new image was created by Marx in the nineteenth century, and Ellul questions how long we can continue to live on his legacy. More important, he suggests that Marx may have brought about an abrupt deviation of the necessary revolutionary current and given a false meaning to the word revolution. Is all our talk about Marxian revolution talk about reality, or a way of filling a void with words? Finally, among so many social eddies and agitations, are we today caught up in a really revolutionary movement--or are we being led into blind combat by false lights that in reality are reflections in distorting mirrors? Are we capable of discerning the real Revolution, the needed Revolution? Ellul does not map out a route in detail: he clears paths into the future, making it possible for a route to be found. His masterly book should help to change our thinking, and therefore our future.
