Smith presents a detailed account of the history of the French Senate during the Fourth and Fifth Republics (1946-2004). He begins by describing the restoration of the second chamber as the (very weak) Council of the Republic in 1946. He then traces the Senate's development into a political force to be reckoned with, and concludes with some speculation about the position of the Senate in the near future. Smith (French, U. of Nottingham) is also the author of A History of the French Senate, Volume I, which covers the Third Republic (1870-1945).
