Sinopsis
Excerpt from No Surrender
Depopulated, and the Republicans paid dearly indeed for their triumph, no fewer than one hundred thousand men having fallen on their side. La Vendee was crushed, but never surrendered. Had the British government been properly informed by its agents of the desperate nature Of the struggle that was going on, they might, by throwing twenty thousand troops with supplies Of stores and money into La Vendee, have changed the whole course Of events, have crushed the Republic, given France a monarch, and thus spared Europe over twenty years of devastating war fare, the expenditure Of enormous sums Of money, and the loss Of millions of lives. G. A. Henty.

Excerpt from No Surrender
In the world's history there is no more striking example of heroic bravery and firmness than that afforded by the people of the province of Poitou, and more especially of that portion of it known as La Vendee, in the defence of their religion and their rights as free men. At the commencement of the struggle they were almost unarmed, and the subsequent battles were fought by the aid of muskets and cannon wrested from the enemy. With the exception of its forests, La Vendee offered no natural advantages for defence. It had no mountains such as those which enabled the Swiss to maintain their independence, no rivers which would bar the advance of an enemy, and although the woods and thickets of the Bocage, as it was called, favoured the action of the irregular troops, these do not seem to have been utilized as they might have been, the principal engagements of the war being fought on open ground. For eighteen months the peasants of La Vendée, in spite of the fact that they had no idea of submitting either to drill or discipline, repulsed the efforts of forces commanded by the best generals France could furnish, and which grew after every defeat until at length armies numbering in all over two hundred thousand men were collected to crush La Vendee. The losses on both sides were enormous.
