About This Book

A detailed, evidence-based chronicle of the political repression that followed the revolutionary takeover, compiling eyewitness testimony, official documents, and photographs to document arrests, summary executions, deportations, and the operations of the extraordinary security apparatus. It reconstructs procedures, local incidents, and institutional organization, offers statistical and anecdotal illustrations, and presents a moral and analytical critique of the campaign’s methods and consequences while tracing how administrative mechanisms and revolutionary rhetoric enabled systematic violence.
