Review

From the reviews:

"This third volume of the collected works of Claude Chevalley is different. ... After 50 years this is still a text to recommend to anyone who reads French and wants to learn more about algebraic groups. ... The Borel subgroups, the Weyl group, the line bundles on the flag variety, a construction of homogeneous spaces, Jordan decomposition, singular tori, isogenies ... they are all here, treated in full detail." (Wilberd van der Kallen, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1099 (1), 2007)
