LES GRANDS DUELS QUI ONT FAIT LE MONDE

Two contenders for one position of power.

History, essentially tragic, is often embodied in the clash of two titans: their personal rivalries, running deep and escalating to hatred, are superimposed on their country's power struggles. Under the direction of Alexis Brézet and Vincent Trémolet de Villers, prominent historians and journalists from Le Figaro pool their resources to tell twenty stories that changed history, from ancient times to today.
