«Lettre ouverte aux coupeurs de têtes et aux menteurs du bicentenaire» is the historical essay by Philippe de Villiers, published by Albin Michel in paperback.
In this open letter, Philippe de Villiers criticizes the pomp of the bicentennial of the French Revolution of 1989, which he compares to the Potemkin syndrome: a facade that hides the uncomfortable aspects of the period. He argues that the commemoration should celebrate the Declaration of the Rights of Man without evading the truth about the Terror and the War in the Vendée, since the first human right is the right to truth.
Written in French. It has 139 pages and belongs to the «Lettre ouverte» collection from Albin Michel.
For readers interested in the history of France and in the debate on the memory of the French Revolution.
Fra' Philippe de Villiers de L'Isle-Adam was a prominent member of the Knights Hospitaller at Rhodes and later Malta. Having risen to the position of Prior of the Langue of Auvergne, he was elected 44th Grand Master of the Order in 1521.
