The work examines the historical claims of France over the left bank of the Rhine, arguing for the restoration of Alsace and Lorraine to France following their annexation by Germany. The narrative not only delves into the regions' historical significance but also discusses their military and economic relevance to France. The opening of this historical treatise sets a vivid scene from the mountain of Sainte-Odile, where the author reflects on the beauty of Alsace and expresses a longing for the return of the region to France. Amidst the jubilant peal of church bells, Coubé questions when the "Angelus of deliverance" will signal the end of German dominance. He uses this evocative imagery to frame his argument for French claims over the Alsace-Lorraine territories, emphasizing the deep historical ties and national interests that compel France to reclaim these regions, which are portrayed as vital to the country's security and heritage.
