Résumé anglais Writing a Heroic History. The modernizers of the post-war administration. The representation of high civil servants as historic figures of the post-war period constitutes an approach to political history that came into being under the Fourth Republic and has flourished ever since, rallying numerous analysts of the political scene as well as a good many of its actors. Paradoxically, the production of a heroic memory of the modernization of post-war France is built on a series of administrative and political defeats suffered by this small group of pioneers, while it neglects to examine the hows and whys of their success.
