If the political action of Philippe de Villiers has not always been successful, it makes up for in writing this book becomes the best biography of this hero of Vendée wars because it makes known to us the pre-revolutionary Charette , sailor who participated in the War of Independence of the English colonies of America. Personal note: Charette was sailor before fighting the Blues, while my father fought against the Reds before being sailor.
