This lively new book examines the events of that day, together with the circumstances which led up to them, focusing on the behaviour and psychological state of those involved. Corbin discusses the role of rumour in the atrocity, and penetrates the minds of the participants to find out why their suppressed anxiety exploded into an irrepressible rage that nothing short of murder could quell.
Corbin continues by analysing the ritual of the popular execution, the place of the victim and the torturers in the local community, together with the image of the Prussian as a hate–figure.
