Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Et si la France avait continué la guerre en juin 1940 ? Et si le gouvernement français avait continué la lutte contre l'Allemagne hitlérienne depuis l'Afrique du Nord ? Telles sont les questions posées par cet essai où l'histoire rencontre la fiction à travers une oeuvre romanesque haletante et poignante. Ainsi prend forme une façon entièrement novatrice de relire et d'étudier l'histoire de l'année 1940, dans tous ses aspects : politique, économique, diplomatique et stratégique. Une alternative aux journées tragiques de juin à décembre 1940 se dessine alors, le contraste entre le possible et le réel n'ayant qu'un seul but : montrer que la décision de demander un armistice n'était en rien inéluctable. Voici le récit d'une histoire qui n'a pas été, mais qui aurait pu être.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Et si, la prise du pouvoir par Pétain ayant échoué, la France avait continué la guerre en juin 1940 ? Telle est l'histoire " alternative " que racontait le premier volet de cet essai où l'histoire rencontre la fiction. Mais ensuite ? En 1941, le centre de gravité du conflit s'est déplacé vers le sud, la guerre en Méditerranée s'intensifie, tandis que Hitler envisage de se lancer à l'assaut de l'URSS. Couvrant tous les aspects du conflit - politique, économie, diplomatie, stratégie et même tactique -, ce deuxième volume livre le récit d'une histoire qui n'a pas été, mais qui aurait pu être, celle des années 1941-1942. Ce récit haletant se lit comme un véritable roman, mais il constitue aussi un exercice historique original. Une façon entièrement novatrice et fascinante de relire l'histoire de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For three weeks in July 1945 all eyes were fixed on a humid Paris, where France’s disgraced former head of state was on trial, accused of masterminding a plot to overthrow democracy. Would Philippe Pétain, hero of Verdun, be condemned as the traitor of Vichy? In the terrible month of October 1940, few things were more shocking than the sight of Marshal Philippe Pétain—supremely decorated hero of the First World War, now head of the French government—shaking hands with Hitler. Pausing to look at the cameras, Pétain announced that France would henceforth collaborate with Germany. “This is my policy,” he intoned. “My ministers are responsible to me. It is I alone who will be judged by History.” Five years later, in July 1945, after a wave of violent reprisals following the liberation of Paris, Pétain was put on trial for his conduct during the war. He stood accused of treason, charged with heading a conspiracy to destroy France’s democratic government and collaborating with Nazi Germany. The defense claimed he had sacrificed his personal honor to save France and insisted he had shielded the French people from the full scope of Nazi repression. Former resisters called for the death penalty, but many identified with this conservative military hero who had promised peace with dignity. The award-winning author of a landmark biography of Charles de Gaulle, Julian Jackson uses Pétain’s three-week trial as a lens through which to examine one of history’s great moral dilemmas. Was the policy of collaboration “four years to erase from our history,” as the prosecution claimed? Or was it, as conservative politicians insist to this day, a sacrifice that placed pragmatism above moral purity? As head of the Vichy regime, Pétain became the lightning rod for collective guilt and retribution. But he has also been an icon of the nationalist right ever since. In France on Trial, Jackson blends courtroom drama, political intrigue, and brilliant narrative history to highlight the hard choices and moral compromises leaders make in times of war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of hypothetical turning points in history from Ancient Greece to September 11 What if history, as we know it, had run another course? Touching on alternate histories of the future and the past, or uchronias, A Past of Possibilities encourages deeper consideration of watershed moments in the course of history. Wide-ranging in scope, it examines the Boxer Rebellion in China, the 1848 revolution in France, and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, and integrates science fiction, history, historiography, sociology, anthropology, and film. In probing the genre of literature and history that is fascinated with hypotheticals surrounding key points in history, Quentin Deluermoz and Pierre Singaravélou reach beyond a mere reimagining of history, exploring the limits and potentials of the futures past. From the most bizarre fiction to serious scientific hypothesis, they provide a survey of the uses of counterfactual histories, methodological issues on the possible in social sciences, and practical proposals for using alternate histories in research and the wider public.

Download or read book The Fall of France in the Second World War written by Richard Carswell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the fall of France in the Second World War has been recorded by historians and remembered within society. It argues that explanations of the fall have usually revolved around the four main themes of decadence, failure, constraint and contingency. It shows that the dominant explanation claimed for many years that the fall was the inevitable consequence of a society grown rotten in the inter-war period. This view has been largely replaced among academic historians by a consensus which distinguishes between the military defeat and the political demise of the Third Republic. It emphasizes the contingent factors that led to the military defeat. At the same time it seeks to understand the constraints within which France’s policy-makers were required to act and the reasons for their policy-making failures in economics, defence and diplomacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defeat and Division launches a definitive new account of France in the Second World War. In this first volume, Douglas Porch dissects France's 1940 collapse, the dynamics of occupation, and the rise of Charles de Gaulle's Free France crusade, culminating in the November 1942 Allied invasion of French North Africa. He captures the full sweep of France's wartime experience in Europe, Africa, and beyond, from soldiers and POWs to civilians-in-arms, colonial subjects, and foreign refugees. He recounts France's struggles to reconstruct military power within the context of a global conflict, with its armed forces shattered into warring factions and the country under Axis occupation. Disagreements over the causes of the 1940 debacle and the subsequent requirement for the armistice mirrored long-standing fractures in politics, society, and the French military itself, as efforts to reconstitute French military power crumbled into Vichy collaboration, De Gaulle's exile resistance, Alsace-Moselle occupation struggles, and a scuffle for imperial supremacy.

Book excerpt: A new perspective on the calamitous fall of France in 1940 and why blame has been misplaced ever since In this revisionist account of France's crushing defeat in 1940, a world authority on French history argues that the nation's downfall has long been misunderstood. Philip Nord assesses France's diplomatic and military preparations for war with Germany, its conduct of the war once the fighting began, and the political consequences of defeat on the battlefield. He also tracks attitudes among French leaders once defeat seemed a likelihood, identifying who among them took advantage of the nation's misfortunes to sabotage democratic institutions and plot an authoritarian way forward. Nord finds that the longstanding view that France's collapse was due to military unpreparedeness and a decadent national character is unsupported by fact. Instead, he reveals that the Third Republic was no worse prepared and its military failings no less dramatic than those of the United States and other Allies in the early years of the war. What was unique in France was the betrayal by military and political elites who abandoned the Republic and supported the reprehensible Vichy takeover. Why then have historians and politicians ever since interpreted the defeat as a judgment on the nation as a whole? Why has the focus been on the failings of the Third Republic and not on elite betrayal? The author examines these questions in a fascinating conclusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Que s'est-il vraiment passA(c) en ce 18 juin 1940 ? Certes, un grand nombre d'ouvrages ont A(c)tA(c) consacres A la conjoncture politico-militaire qui entourait l'allocution radiodiffusA(c)c du gA(c)nA(c)ral de Gaulle, mais aucun, A ce jour, ne s'A(c)tait attachA(c), comme celui-ci, A l'A(c)tonnante histoire secrA]te du texte de cette allocution. Sous les yeux A(c)bahis du lecteur, voilA en effet un texte qui n'en finit pas de se mA(c)tamorphoser. La version que nous connaissons n'apparaA(R)t pas avant le 15 aoAt. La plus fidA]le aux intentions du GA(c)nA(c)ral date probablement du 16 juin. Le 18, il en circule au moins cinq. La radio en diffuse une, les journaux franAais une autre, et les journaux anglais une troisiA]me. Quelle est donc la vA(c)ritA(c) promise par ce texte fondateur de la France Libre ? FranAois Delpla, loin de se borner A la critique textuelle, montre ici que ces variations rA(c)sultent, en fait, du choc de trois volontA(c)s: celle de De Gaulle, de Churchill et de Halifax, le ministre des Affaires A(c)trangA]res. Le premier veut, d'emblA(c)e, incarner la France et disqualifier PA(c)tain. Le second cherche surtout des arguments pour continuer la guerre, a laquelle le troisiA]me souhaiterait mettre un terme. On s'avise aussi, en chemin, que les acteurs de cette journA(c)e se sont livrA(c)s A une vA(c)ritable course contre la montre: De Gaulle veut parler avant PA(c)tain, mais il est devancA(c). De surcroA(R)t, il doit se battre pour faire passer son message et n'y parvient vA(c)ritablement que dans son allocution du 2 juillet. Au lieu d'un simple discours, on dA(c)couvre alors un processus qui s'A(c)tale sur deux semaines. Et c'est ce processus, si lourd de consA(c)quences, qui est ici revisitA(c). Le passA(c), lui aussi, est rempli de surprises. FranAois Delpla, auteur d'oeuvres sur Churchill et sur Hitler, a dA(c)jA A(c)tudiA(c) la RA(c)sistance franAaise sous l'angle des rapports entre mythe et rA(c)alitA(c) dans Aubrac, les faits et la calomnie (1997).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In academia, the traditional role of the humanities is being questioned by the “posts”—postmodernism, poststructuralism, and postfeminism—which means that the project of writing history only grows more complex. In History as a Kind of Writing, scholar of French literature and culture Philippe Carrard speaks to this complexity by focusing the lens on the current state of French historiography. Carrard’s work here is expansive—examining the conventions historians draw on to produce their texts and casting light on views put forward by literary theorists, theorists of history, and historians themselves. Ranging from discussions of lengthy dissertations on 1960s social and economic history to a more contemporary focus on events, actors, memory, and culture, the book digs deep into the how of history. How do historians arrange their data into narratives? What strategies do they employ to justify the validity of their descriptions? Are actors given their own voice? Along the way, Carrard also readdresses questions fundamental to the field, including its necessary membership in the narrative genre, the presumed objectivity of historiographic writing, and the place of history as a science, distinct from the natural and theoretical sciences.

Download or read book Flight to Arras written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and published by HMH. This book was released on 1969-10-22 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World War II aviator and author of The Little Prince tells his true story of flying a reconnaissance plane during the Battle of France in 1940. When the Germans first invaded France in May of 1940, the French Air Force had a mere fifty reconnaissance crews, twenty-three of which served in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Group II/33. After only a few days, seventeen of the crews in Saint-Exupéry’s unit had already perished. Flight to Arras is the harrowing story of a single mission over the French town of Arras, an endeavor Saint-Exupéry realized the futility of even as he witnessed it unfolding. Filled with tension, emotion, philosophy, and historical detail, and penned by a master storyteller, this extraordinary memoir serves as a record of a little-known chapter of the Second World War, and an unforgettable portrait of the brave souls who fought despite desperate odds.
