Abstract

Distinguished historian John Merriman maintains that the Age of Modern Terror began in Paris on February 12, 1894, when anarchist Emile Henry set off a bomb in the Café Terminus, killing one and wounding twenty French citizens. The true story of the circumstances that led a young radical to commit a cold-blooded act of violence against innocent civilians makes for riveting reading, shedding new light on the terrorist mindset and on the subsequent worldwide rise of anarchism by deed. Merriman's fascinating study of modern history's first terrorists, emboldened by the invention of dynamite, reveals much about the terror of today.

Abstract

'The fascinating story of a long-forgotten "war on terror" that has much in common with our own'On a February evening in 1894, a young radical intellectual named Emile Henry drank two beers at an upscale Parisian restaurant, then left behind a bomb as a parting gift. This incident, which rocked the French capital, lies at the heart of 'The Dynamite Club,' a mesmerizing account of Henry and his cohorts and the war they waged against the bourgeoisie& setting off bombs in public places, killing the president of France, and eventually assassinating President McKinley in 1901.Paris in the belle e;poque was a place of leisure, elegance, and power. Newly electrified, the city's wide boulevards were lined with posh department stores and outdoor cafe;s. But prosperity was limited to a few. Most lived in dire poverty, and workers and intellectuals found common cause in a political philosophy& anarchism& that embraced the overthrow of the state by any means necessary.Yet in targeting civilians to achieve their ends, the dynamite bombers charted a new course. Seeking martyrdom, believing fervently in their goal, and provoking a massive government reaction that only increased their ranks, these "evildoers" became, in effect, the first terrorists in modern history.Surprising and provocative, 'The Dynamite Club' is a brilliantly researched account that illuminates a period of dramatic social and political change& and subtly asks us to reflect upon our own.
