We found the history of France (Paperback)

Customer Review

Here is a somewhat iconoclastic book where one (re) discovers that if "history is written by the victors," we have not always been the winners! So it was necessary to arrange a little our past to conform to the policies that have succeeded, to the detriment of truths that could interfere.
The "hereditary enemies" of France have not always been the same over time, and our ancestors the Gauls, Germanic, Celtic, etc. have in turn given way to the podium of the Official History, necessity makes law.
The first part of this book makes us want to reclaim our past, whatever the cost to the myths ...
The second part (? A bit long) is an advocacy, SOS true for preventive excavations and conservation of our heritage: we are what all previous generations have made. Commits manage our future if we do not know who we are? The truth of our history is not exactly that of schoolbooks and official discourse: it is another, much richer, much more open. Asterix perhaps, but not only!
