The History of France on Trial

Release date : 19/09/2019
A politically incorrect history of France and a trial of the great men who have shaped its course.
The history of France is being manipulated more and more by a handful of new prosecutors who are condemning its greatest figures as “criminals.” History has become an inexhaustible ideological factory in which each person comes looking for what they want from an entirely anachronistic perspective, as though yesterday’s actions... The history of France is being manipulated more and more by a handful of new prosecutors who are condemning its greatest figures as “criminals.” History has become an inexhaustible ideological factory in which each person comes looking for what they want from an entirely anachronistic perspective, as though yesterday’s actions happened today, in the here and now. The “politically correct” police are out of control! Clovis, Charles Martel, Saint Louis, Jean-Baptiste Colbert, Napoleon, Jules Ferry, Charles de Gaulle, and many others have become the new “criminals” of French history, unjustly disturbed from their eternal rest to be dragged in front of a single-minded jury seeking to point the blame. Let’s start from scratch! Today, history has become a simplistic device to divide the world without any nuances, with the “oppressed” on one side and the “oppressors” on the other. Through numerous examples (with one historical figure per chapter), the author tackles the various charges with rigor. If history is a long series of crimes against humanity, as Pierre Nora claims, a course of injustices, contradictions and spectacular reversals, these historical figures are also part of that humanity… They were simply men of their time.
