Interview with Henri Guillemin (1903-1992), French author of numerous history books as well as biographies of famous figures in French history. With his legendary verve, he recounts his passionate interest in historical questions and French literary history. Among other things, he discusses his meeting with Maurice Chevalier; his interest in Robespierre and the French Revolution; the important figures he encountered during his triple career as a professor, diplomat and communicator; his attitude towards honours and medals; his vision of religion versus his anticlerical position.
