"Bridging gaps between intellectual history, biography, and military/colonial history, Barnett Singer and John Langdon provide an interpretation of French imperialism and some of its leading figures from the early modern era through the Fifth Republic. They ask us to rethink and reevaluate, pulling away from the usual shoal of simplistic condemnation. In a series of biographical studies, and with much detail on both imperial culture and wars (including World War I and II), they offer a portrait of key makers and defenders of the French Empire, one that will surely stimulate much historical work in the field."--BOOK JACKET.
