«Historiquement incorrect» is the historical essay by Jean Sévillia, published by Fayard in paperback (370 pages, in French).
In ten chapters, Sévillia revisits controversial topics: the transmission of ancient knowledge by the Arabs, the Church's relationship with science, the benefits of colonization, the world wars, immigration and the place of Islam in France. Against ideological taboos, he proposes a critical reading of the past and devotes two chapters to Pius XII's attitude toward Nazism.
Originally published in 2011, this essay continues the line of his previous Historiquement correct (2003) and includes bibliographical references and an index.
For readers interested in French history, in the critique of historically correct discourse and in the debate on national identity and the Church.
Jean Sévillia is a conservative French journalist and essayist. He is known for writings in Le Figaro Magazine. His defense of the Roman Catholic Church's role in history has made him popular from traditionalist and conservative organisations in France. He is critical of what he perceives to be left wing bias in the media that often influence popular beliefs on history.
