Technical but accessible and interesting

This book is much like television appearances (as it were permitted ...) Alain Soral: it goes a bit in all directions. We feel even a tot of real will of organization, but it is not easy for the vast topic.

Some sections are quite technical, view too for those (and I am one) who are not familiar with the history of France (contemporary or not).
I find the very well-crafted analysis, although some passages seem too quick for honest beings.

In summary, I find that this book is instructive, and actually makes good "Understanding the Empire".
