Marquis de Lafayette Part 12: The World Turned Upside Down
Lafayette’s persistent efforts to save the French monarchy end in failure when Louis XVI is overthrown once and for all in August 1792. With his avowed enemies, the Jacobins, now in power and accusing him of betraying the revolution, the general is faced with the most difficult decision of his life.
