The great conspiracy of the year XII, by Jean-Claude Demory: the man who hated Bonaparte. A royalist offensive led by Georges Cadoudal, a recognized leader of the Breton chouannerie.
High-ranking soldiers involved - Pichegru and Moreau -, a licensed spy, Fouché. A tormented country - which is still looking for a regime -, a British enemy in the background... Without forgetting a collateral victim, Louis-Antoine de Bourbon Condé, Duke of Enghien.
