Trade Review
"Contesting Sacrifice will make an important contribution to our understanding of French culture. Ivan Strenski offers a dynamic look at the idea of sacrifice in France, then examines the acting out of these notions during pivotal moments in French history. This is an insightful new study." - Susan Dunn, author of Sister Revolutions: French Lightning, American Light
