This book is very interesting for those who want to know the history of Franche-Comté, but it is very difficult to read and there are many lengths so that one sometimes loses the thread. While I was expecting a book to be read by everyone, it is more like a manuscript (master or PhD) in history on the subject. I am sure that switching to Annex 3/4 of the book (which mainly serve to demonstrate the truth, or at least the credibility of the remaining 1/4), one could enjoy the history of our region to a much wider audience.
