Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively chronicles the evolution of religious and political confrontation, diplomacy, and violence in Geneva during a transformative period of the 16th century. The author places this narrative within the broader historical context of the Reformation and Europe's complex political landscape, capturing the spirit of a proud city that defied powerful external forces to preserve its autonomy and religious identity. Through a rich tapestry of events and insightful analysis, the book traces the rise of Protestantism in Geneva, the resulting conflict with the Catholic Church, and the formation of alliances with Swiss cities to secure the city's independence. The author delves into the challenges of governance during wartime, the consequences of diplomatic failures, and the lives of key figures like Besançon Hugues, a prominent citizen who played a pivotal role in shaping Geneva's destiny. Ultimately, this book highlights the remarkable resilience of a city that, despite internal divisions and relentless external pressures, emerged as a beacon of religious freedom and a symbol of resistance against tyranny.
