    France's New Deal is an in-depth and important look at the remaking of the French state after World War II, a time when the nation was endowed with brand-new institutions for managing its economy and culture.

  • Marianne In Chainsby Robert Gildea

    Pan Macmillan 2011; US$ 8.95

    For the last fifty years, the German Occupation of France has been regarded as a period characterised by four things: cold, hunger, the absence of freedom and above all fear; a time when the indigenous population was cruelly and consistently oppressed by the army of occupation. The people of France were either bold members of the Resistance or craven... more...

  • Memories of May '68by Chris Reynolds

    University of Wales Press 2011; US$ 30.00

    For over forty years now, 1968 in France has been the focus of much attention.

As a result, the French collective memory of 1968 has been shaped and cultivated in such a way... more...
