Historical Dictionary of World War II France
Editorial Reviews
Review
“...a comprehensive and valuable reference work for students and specialists alike.”–
“Bertram Gordon must be commended for his editorial work: he oversaw the writing of 413 entries by 102 contributors (mostly North Americans), and he wrote numerous entries himself....[A]s a reference tool for undergraduates...this is an excellent resource.”–
“[I]t should prove useful to anyone wanting a convenient reference source on all aspects of France during the period, as well as an excellent, up-to-date guide to bibliographic references on the period. This work is recommended for all libraries collecting in history.”–
Book Description
The most comprehensive reference work in its field, this book covers a broad range of topics--military, politics, economics, society, painting, literature, music, cinema, dance, theater, sports, and daily life--related to France and her empire during World War II. Starting with the 1938 Munich Crisis and continuing through the 1940 defeat, Occupation, Vichy, Resistance, Liberation, and the establishment of the post-Liberation Provisional Government, the work also addresses such legacies of the wartime experience as the role of former President Francois Mitterrand and the trial of former Vichy official Maurice Papon.
