It is one of the main works on the Wars of the Vendée, to which historians refer. Its major interest lies in the wealth of local episodes drawn from the sources and supported by the oral testimonies of the last survivors of this war. This work should not be confused with the 1st edition of L'Histoire des guerres de Vendée by Abbé Félix Deniau (his nephew and namesake, parish priest of Saint-Macaire-en-Mauges) and Dom Chamard.
