Résumé : | Chronologically, this is the last volume of a multiple-author, five-volume account of the last 100 years of French history. A master of specialized topics in the 19th century, Agulhon (College de France) now tries his hand at a general synthesis for a wide audience. He treats the early days of the Third Republic, the Dreyfus Affair, the debacle of World War I, the psychological and economic depression of the 1920s and 1930s, the humiliation and outrages of the Vichy regime, the shaky life of the Fourth Republic, and the grandeur and ambivalences of the Fifth Republic under de Gaulle, Mitterrand, and others. Agulhon presents a balanced, nuanced interpretation while not hiding his passionate feelings about personalities and events. Nevill's radiant translation will help to ensure that this English-language version will win the same praises heaped on the original French one. Highly recommended. |
