ALL RIGHTS AVAILABLE

Through selected scenes and high points, this biography sums up the destiny of the "chevalier de Colombey". It avoids theorising, following instead the man in action, the man who always said yes to France as he did to new horizons.

Jean-Pierre Rioux, professor of history, former research director of the CNRS (France’s National Centre of Scientific Research), is Inspector-General of National Education, editor-in-chief of the historical review Vingtième Siècle, and a contributor to Le Monde.
