France’s New Deal: From the Thirties to the Postwar Era

(Princeton University Press) This work is an in-depth look at the remaking of the French state after World War II, tracing the roots of France’s evolution from the 1930s through the postwar years. An examination of economic, cultural, and political factors in this important time gives a nuanced perspective on how this modern nation came into being.
