The Making of Les Bleus traces the Fifth Republic's quest to create elite athletes, a compelling tale that serves as a prism through which to investigate the larger history of France, the evolution of society, the impacts of the media revolution, and the government's mission of public health. It provides perspective on how France coped with and adapted to the post-1945 world and underscores just how much things have changed-yet still remained the same.
