The period between the end of the Carolingian Empire and the ascendancy of Louis XIV is painted as a mere backdrop for what follows; the story only really begins with the Revolution; at the midpoint of the body text WWI already begins; on the other hand, there's too much detail abouth the Fifth Republic. Compare, for instance, the 5 pages given to the Hundred Years' War (1337–1453), 6 pages for the July Monarchy (1830-1848), and 7 pages for the 2012 presidential election.

This is the most up-to-date and comprehensive study of French history available ranging from the early middle ages to the present. Amongst its central themes are the relationships between state and society, the impact of war, competition for power, and the ways in which power has been used. Whilst taking full account of major figures such as Philip Augustus, Henri IV, Louis XIV, Napoleon and de Gaulle, it sets their activities within the broader context of changing economic and social structures and beliefs, and offers rich insights into the lives of ordinary men and women. This third edition has been substantially revised and includes a new chapter on contemporary France - a society and political system in crisis as a result of globalisation, rising unemployment, a failing educational system, growing social and racial tensions, corruption, the rise of the extreme right, and a widespread loss of confidence in political leaders.
