This text examines the aftershocks felt by the French and their world. Using astute analysis and the cultivation of detail to paint a fresco of French society, the book vividly describes the period's changes, remainders, exultations, fears, lives, deaths, addictions, crimes, figures grand and small, significant and not, remembered or forgotten. Through character sketches of politicians of the day, it reveals the inner workings of French political life and its role in society as political figures sought to make sense of the tumultuous times.
