A pleasant stroll victim of a ridiculous controversy

L Deutsch takes the form that has made the success of Metronome: from a transport network (here the roads and rivers, replacing the subway) to narrate the construction of our country through anecdotes and make us discover the remains different strata of our history.
Compared Metronome, Hexagon is less well built, it sometimes lacks consistency but do not spoil our fun, we are dealing here with a book written by a passionate, so with enthusiasm. It is a book that calls for sharing. With a style based on assumed narration, this trip is easy and pleasantly. It is however not only fun and I learned I was also invited to reflect on certain times than I knew myself badly documenting elsewhere.

Then immediately tweak this controversy ridiculous. France is not a book of a historian stamped by our universities (those historians who made me learn the official statistics of the USSR when I was a kid ...). But I do not see that L Deutsch arises historian and wants to write his history of France. It is not the purpose of this book, never, there has too many omissions accepted by the writer to have ambition. In short this book is not a history book.

Likewise, these are ridiculous historians tell us that L Deutsch is far right, as shown by the three pages written on confronting Arabs and francs under the control of Charles Martel. It seems that these valuable have not read the book because the Franks are not exactly represented as either poets. Moreover, is not it the negationism that refuse to conceive that the Saracens had not come tuyas plant in France but expand their empire and minimum enrich themselves by gun violence?

These pathetic about the Parisian intelligentsia Le Monde / Telerama and others show that the old progressive forces fell into obscurantism.
