Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of Cardinal De Retz
At an age when others are scarcely abbés, he is nominated coadjutor to the Archbishop of Paris. But De Gondi is not satisfied. He must have more; he has the ambition to be prime minister, to replace Richelieu and Mazarin. It is to succeed in this aim that he inaugurates the long campaign recounted in his Memoirs, and becomes the directing spirit in the great revolutionary movement, which is the F ronde.
