]]> François de Chevert (1695–1769) remains one of the most famous general officers of the ancien régime, largely because he is regarded as a commoner who rose up the ranks. Yet, as his epitaph reminds us, he never became a maréchal de France. Historians inform us that the reason for this was his lack of nobility, but in fact his origins were not as humble as many have believed and cannot account for his failure to obtain the marshal’s baton. Chevert is also often presented as an outstanding general whose victories were appropriated by officers well placed at court. He thus appeared to be a victim of court politics; yet this belief, too, must be subject to investigation. On several occasions Chevert’s behaviour towards subalterns and colleagues alike was far from correct. He lost only one battle, but it was this single defeat that denied him promotion to the maréchalat. Notwithstanding these circumstances, the real Chevert was eclipsed and replaced by a legendary hero, hugely popular at the dawn of the French Revolution.

]]> No doubt the American Revolution inspired the French to stage their own revolution- and some American founding fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, were sympathetic to the French Revolution.
Yet whereas the American Revolution was success, the French revolution fell into chaos. What went wrong with the French Revolution?
In a way France of the 1780s was truly Orwellian. Like Orwell’s ’1984′, the people lived in a repressive society. And like Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’, the revolutionaries were even worse than those they deposed.
