		Langins is primarily interested in the crisis faced by the corps in the 1770s and 1780s, the crucial decades before the Revolution, when the corps faced its harshest critic, Marc-René, the marquis de Montalembert, who accused the corps of hide-bound conservatism and even urged its abolition.
		Reform in the engineering corps, however, was unsuccessful, despite the challenge of a talented amateur, the marquis of Montalembert.
		Langins’s focus is not on the Revolution itself, although he does carry on the pamphleteering debate between Montalembert and his critics in the corps up to Montalembert’s death in 1800, and ends with a brief assessment of changes in the corps.
