<i>A History of the Barricade</i> is essential reading for anyone seeking a guided tour of revolutionary Paris...Hazan's book is arguably the most readable, and constitutes a marvelous introduction to the history of revolt.

- Daniel Benson, Left History

Hazan's short survey, peppered with contemporary quotes and outlining the story of the barricade across three centuries, would provide an engaging introduction to the subject for the general reader or undergraduate student.

- Laura O'Brien, <i>French History</i>,

In the history of European revolutions, the barricade is a glorious emblem, especially the barricades of Paris, which graced all the revolts of the nineteenth century. The barricade was always a makeshift construction-the word derives from barrique, or barrel-but it served as an offensive tactic in narrow city streets, enmeshing the forces of repression. Barricades were also a theatrical stage, from where insurgents could harangue soldiers and subvert their allegiance, and their symbolic power remained alive in the historic French protests of May 1968 and the Occupy movements. In a series of concise chapters, Eric Hazan traces the many stages in the barricade's evolution, from the Wars of Religion through the Paris Commune, drawing on observations from contemporary thinkers.
