France and the French: La Vie en Bleu Since 1900"In this exhaustively researched narrative history, Rod Kedward brings to life the great, and often terrible, dramas of modern France - the two cataclysmic wars, the Algerian disaster, the student and worker revolt of 1968 - but also explores the special worlds of the workplace, immigration, minorities, the role of women, and the relationship of politics to place, everyday life, and collective memory."--BOOK JACKET. |
