Pau Et Les Basses-Pyrénées Pendant La Révolution by Frédéric Rivarès surveys the upheavals of the French Revolution as they touched the city of Pau and the Béarn region. The work blends local history and political analysis to show how central events—abolition of feudal privileges, the reorganization of the administrative system into departments, districts and communes, and the rise of revolutionary tribunals—shaped life in the Basque-Béarn borderlands. It presents vivid portraits of deputies, magistrates, priests and citizens who navigated the turbulence: Mourot, Monestier, Pinet, Cavaignac and others, including the evolutions of the municipal government, the establishment of the 'Société populaire' and the 'Comité de surveillance', the terrors and executions, the trials of émigrés, and the struggles over famine, grain, and provisioning. The narrative interleaves legislative debates, police measures, and social experiments with a keen eye for the everyday consequences—prisons, barricades, requisitions, and street life—offering a sober, often poignant, portrait of a province caught in the whirlwind of Parisian politics.
