About This Book

A series of historical studies and public addresses written by a long-serving French envoy examines episodes and personalities linking the two republics, drawing on unpublished documents, personal recollections, and public speeches. Essays trace French military and diplomatic involvement in the American struggle, the design and growth of the federal capital, interactions between American leaders and French observers, and reflections on national development, cultural exchange, and wartime cooperation. Interspersed are portraits of notable figures, analyses of institutional and technological change, and three addresses delivered before American audiences, together forming a thematic account of Franco-American relations and of the author's experiences during his diplomatic tenure.
