This book offers a fresh understanding of the substance behind the rhetoric of English Renaissance monarchy. Propaganda is identified as a key factor in the intensification of the English state.

Journaliste professionnel à « Nice-Matin », ancien responsable des services sportifs de ce grand quotidien pour la région cannoise, et ancien dirigeant régional et national de plusieurs fédérations sportives, l'auteur a longtemps vécu dans l'intimité de la plupart des associations ou groupements, dont il relate la vie, les aventures, l'œuvre réalisée.
