Roman Polanski: Behind the Scenes of His Classic Early Films is a
rare portrait of the artist in the act of creation. Journalist,
film historian, and playwright Jordan Young takes Polanski watchers
onto the set of a movie made under the worst possible conditions,
by a crew who hated each other and a cast barely on speaking terms.
In May 1790, the French National Assembly renounced wars of
conquest. Two years later, France declared war on Austria and
invaded Belgium and the Rhineland, claiming it was to spread the
benefits of the Revolution. Soon, however, military and economic
crises drove a shift in the nature of France's war effort. What
started as a war for liberty became a war for conquest, one that
brought devastating exploitation to the Rhineland. It was during
this time that French foreign policy became influenced by the idea
of attaining the natural frontiers - the Alps, the Pyrenees, and,
most significantly, the Rhine. Although often portrayed as a
diplomatic tradition of the French monarchy, Jordan R. Hayworth
shows how the natural frontiers policy was born during the
Revolution. In addition, he examines the intense and consequential
debates that arose over the policy, which caused much confusion in
the war and helped to undermine France's democratic experiment.
