France before the Romans

Was the title of a *1974* book edited by Stuart Piggott et alii.

I can't find anything more recent in English *or* French that 
presents an overview of any substantial part of the whole except the 
Neolithic [1].  In particular, I finally took a decent look today at 
the table of contents of <Histoire de la Gaule (VIe s. av. J.-C. - Ier 
s. ap. J.-C.):  une confrontation culturelle>, and have concluded 
at last that it is not an overview, but is in fact strictly about the 
"confrontation".

So let me get this straight.  The country whose archaeology includes
so many of the Important Sites of Prehistory, and we've got to rely
on a 30-year-old textbook?  What have I missed?

[1] I haven't read 'em, but to judge by the titles, see for the 
Neolithic
<La France des dolmens et des sepultures collectives (4500-2000 
avant J.-C.):  bilans documentaires regionaux>, ed. Philippe Soulier,
1998.
and more generally but less currently
<Ancient France:  Neolithic Societies and Their Landscapes, 6000-
2000 BC>, ed. Christopher Scarre, ?1983.
