"It is hard to do justice to the richness of this dense, magisterial and humane book, but its overarching theme is easily summarized. It is the tension between unity and diversity, more precisely the ways in which the Republic One and Indivisible accommodated (or did not accommodate) the multifarious variety of French society....This book is about what the Republic was, what it said it was, but also what it had the potential to become."Kedward, Roderick is the author of 'La Vie En Bleu France and the French since 1900', published 2005 under ISBN 9780713990416 and ISBN 0713990414.
