Drawing from his book For Altar and Throne, English author and historian Michael Davies tells the story of the Catholic response to the persecutions of the French Revolution. Inspiring true stories of the heroic French Catholics who suffered, fought, and died in what many consider to be the first historical instance of modern systematic genocide. 
 
Davies offers a strong dose of fortitude for those still called to crown Christ as King in our own lives and the social order. A moving treatment of the heroism of the martyrs, and their tenacious devotion to Holy Mass and a just society.
