A somewhat complex first and then about the cleared. As is the collection, the book combines a story and a picture of the political life. 1793-1800, the period left in the shade by the story of programs appears as a search for a viable political form. Its resonance with the debates on the 5th republic reinforces the interest of the book, well written elsewhere. Finally, we discover a fallible but opportunistic Bonaparte, Republican and attracted to power, different from the image carried by the painting of David. I really liked.
