France in an Era of Global War, 1914-1945: Occupation, Politics, Empire and Entanglements

by A. Carrol (Editor), L. Broch (Editor)

Overview

In France in an Era of Global War, scholars re-examine experiences of French politics, occupation, empire and entanglements with the Anglophone world between 1914 and 1945. In doing so, they question the long-standing myths and assumptions which continue to surround this period, and offer new avenues of enquiry.
