They ask us to rethink and reevaluate, pulling away from the usual shoal of simplistic condemnation. In a series of finely-etched biographical studies, and with much detail on both imperial culture and wars (including World War I and II), they offer a balanced, deep, strong portrait of key makers and defenders of the French Empire, one that will surely stimulate much historical work in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarnett Singer is professor emeritus of history at Brock University, and his books include \u003ci\u003eModern France: Mind, Politics, Society\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVillage Notables in Nineteenth-Century France\u003c\/i\u003e.
