Book Synopsis La défaite française, un désastre évitable by : Jacques Belle
Download or read book La défaite française, un désastre évitable written by Jacques Belle and published by . This book was released on 2014-01-07 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La première partie de l'ouvrage évoque les circonstances politiques et militaires qui conduisent le 16 juin 1940 au soir le nouveau gouvernement présidé par Pétain, entraîné par Weygand et rallié par Darlan à faire le choix d'une demande d'armistice. L'acte signé le 22 juin avec les Allemands ne prendra effet que le 25 à 0 heure 35 en même temps que la convention analogue avec l'Italie. Son principal résultat sera d'asservir durablement la France et son économie aux objectifs stratégiques de Hitler. La seconde partie tend à montrer que l'alternative existait et que, si de Gaulle resta longtemps bien seul à le proclamer, sa vision du monde et sa perception de l'honneur du pays furent sur le moment beaucoup plus largement partagées qu'on ne le croit encore aujourd'hui. L'intention de poursuivre la lutte outre-mer avait été jusqu'au 16 juin celle de Paul Reynaud, chef du gouvernement, et de ses principaux ministres, mais également celle du Président de la République et des présidents des deux Assemblées parlementaires. Dans les territoires de l'Empire cette même volonté était partagée par tous les hauts responsables civils et militaires. Ils se déclaraient prêts à suivre le général Noguès, commandant en chef du théâtre des opérations de l'Afrique du Nord, dès lors que celui-ci assurait en avoir les moyens. Le gouvernement britannique poussait à la résistance française et celui des Etats-Unis se montrait déterminé à la soutenir. Si, reconnu par ses pairs comme proconsul d'outre-mer mais s'estimant lâché par la Marine, Noguès se résigna "la mort dans l'âme" à suivre les ordres de son gouvernement, il n'est pas interdit de s'interroger sur les perspectives qui auraient été offertes à la France par une "Hypothèse Noguès" de poursuite de la guerre, en contrepoint de ce que fut dans la réalité la "logique de l'armistice" signé par Vichy.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Le 18 juin 1940 à Munich, tout s'était passé comme si Hitler n'avait eu d'autre souci que d'aller au-devant des espoirs du nouveau gouvernement français qui venait la veille de solliciter un armistice. Il déclara à son compère Mussolini qu'il allait faire un " pont d'or à la France " : elle ne serait pas occupée en totalité, elle serait désarmée certes, mais elle aurait la garde de ses bateaux une fois rentrés au port et elle s'administrerait elle-même sur tout son territoire, outre-mer compris. Lorsqu'il eut connaissance de ces conditions, le gouvernement de têtes militaires présidé par le Maréchal Pétain signa des deux mains. L'intention de poursuivre la lutte outre-mer avait été, en France, celle du président du Conseil en fonction jusqu'au 16 juin, Paul Reynaud, celle de ses principaux ministres et aussi celle du Président de la République et des présidents des Assemblées parlementaires. Leur départ pour l'Afrique du Nord avait été organisé dans les moindres détails. Outre-mer, cette volonté était partagée par tous les responsables civils et militaires, au premier rang desquels le Général Noguès. S'il se résolut " la mort dans l'âme " à l'armistice, ce fut d'abord parce que le concours de la Marine, promis puis retiré par l'Amiral Darlan, lui fit au dernier moment défaut. Si De Gaulle resta longtemps bien seul, sa vision stratégique et sa perception de l'honneur du pays furent sur le moment beaucoup plus largement partagés qu'on le croit encore aujourd'hui."

Book Synopsis The Fall of France in the Second World War by : Richard Carswell
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.
Book Synopsis Propaganda and Mass Persuasion by : Nicholas J. Cull
Download or read book Propaganda and Mass Persuasion written by Nicholas J. Cull and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-07-15 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A truly international, authoritative A–Z guide to five centuries of propaganda, in both wartime and peacetime, which covers key moments, techniques, concepts, and some of the most influential propagandists in history. This fascinating survey provides a comprehensive introduction to propaganda, its changing nature, its practitioners, and its impact on the past five centuries of world history. Written by leading experts, it covers the masters of the art from Joseph Goebbels to Mohandas Gandhi and examines enormously influential works of persuasion such as Uncle Tom's Cabin, techniques such as films and posters, and key concepts like black propaganda and brainwashing. Case studies reveal the role of mass persuasion during the Reformation, and wars throughout history. Regional studies cover propaganda superpowers, such as Russia, China, and the United States, as well as little-known propaganda campaigns in Southeast Asia, Ireland, and Scandinavia. The book traces the evolution of propaganda from the era of printed handbills to computer fakery, and profiles such brilliant practitioners of the art as Third Reich film director Leni Riefenstahl and 19th-century cartoonist Thomas Nast, whose works helped to bring the notorious Boss Tweed to justice.
Book Synopsis Treason on the Airwaves by : Judith Keene
Download or read book Treason on the Airwaves written by Judith Keene and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work traces the extraordinary journeys of three World War II radio broadcasters in Germany and Japan whose wartime choices became treason in Britain, Australia, and the United States. John Amery, a member of a well-connected British family, joined Hitler's propagandists in Berlin. He was executed for treason by Britain after the war. Charles Cousens was a soldier in Japanese captivity when he was put to work on Radio Tokyo with a team of Allied POWs. Cousens was later tried as a traitor in Australia. Iva Toguri, better known as Tokyo Rose, was an American student visiting Japan when war broke out. She broadcast her English show on Radio Tokyo out of necessity rather than conviction. The United States jailed Toguri for treason. Through these powerful stories, this work not only sheds new light on the history of wartime radio broadcasting in Germany and Japan, but also examines the laws of treason in Britain, Australia, and the United States and the ways in which trials such as these helped shape modern-day treason trials. All three accounts provoke thoughtful questions as to the nature of justice—and the justice of retribution. This work traces the extraordinary journeys of three World War II radio broadcasters in Germany and Japan whose wartime choices became treason in Britain, Australia, and the United States.
Book Synopsis Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century by : Bethwell A. Ogot
Download or read book Africa from the Sixteenth to the Eighteenth Century written by Bethwell A. Ogot and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 1088 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of years of work by scholars from all over the world, The UNESCO General History of Africa reflects how the different peoples of Africa view their civilizations and shows the historical relationships between the various parts of the continent. Historical connections with other continents demonstrate Africa's contribution to the development of human civilization. Each volume is lavishly illustrated and contains a comprehensive bibliography. This fifth volume of the acclaimed series covers the history of the continent from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the close of the eighteenth century in which two themes emerge: first, the continuing internal evolution of the states and cultures of Africa during this period second, the increasing involvement of Africa in external trade--with major but unforeseen consequences for the whole world. In North Africa, we see the Ottomans conquer Egypt. South of the Sahara, some of the larger, older states collapse, and new power bases emerge. Traditional religions continue to coexist with both Christianity (suffering setbacks) and Islam (in the ascendancy). Along the coast, particularly of West Africa, Europeans establish a trading network which, with the development of New World plantation agriculture, becomes the focus of the international slave trade. The immediate consequences of this trade for Africa are explored, and it is argued that the long-term global consequences include the foundation of the present world-economy with all its built-in inequalities.

Download or read book Fire and Fury written by Randall Hansen and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Bestseller An enlightening and utterly convincing re-examination of the allied aerial bombing campaign and of civilian German suffering during World War II–an essential addition to our understanding of world history. During the Second World War, Allied air forces dropped nearly two million tons of bombs on Germany, destroying some 60 cities, killing more than half a million German citizens, and leaving 80,000 pilots dead. Much of the bombing was carried out against the expressed demands of the Allied military leadership. Hundreds of thousands of people died needlessly. Focusing on the crucial period from 1942 to 1945, and using a compelling narrative approach, Fire and Fury tells the story of the American and British bombing campaign through the eyes of those involved: military and civilian command in America, Britain, and Germany, aircrew in the sky, and civilians on the ground. Acclaimed historian Randall Hansen shows that the Commander-in-Chief of Bomber Command, Arthur Harris, was wedded to an outdated strategy whose success had never been proven; how area bombing not only failed to win the war, it probably prolonged it; and that the US campaign, which was driven by a particularly American fusion of optimism and morality, played an important and largely unrecognized role in delivering Allied victory.

Book Synopsis The Pope's Body by : Agostino Paravicini-Bagliani
Download or read book The Pope's Body written by Agostino Paravicini-Bagliani and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-07 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to the role traditionally fulfilled by secular rulers, the pope has been perceived as an individual person existing in a body subject to decay and death, yet at the same time a corporeal representation of Christ and the Church, eternity and salvation. Using an array of evidence from the eleventh through the fifteenth centuries, Agostino Paravicini- Bagliani addresses this paradox. He studies the rituals, metaphors, and images of the pope's body as they developed over time and shows how they resulted in the expectation that the pope's body be simultaneously physical and metaphorical. Also included is a particular emphasis on the thirteenth century when, during the pontificate of Boniface VIII (1294-1303), the papal court became the focus of medicine and the natural sciences as physicians devised ways to protect the pope's health and prolong his life. Masterfully translated from the Italian, this engaging history of the pope's body provides a new perspective for readers to understand the papacy, both historically and in our own time.
Download or read book Uneasy Asylum written by Vicki Caron and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which draws on a rich array of primary sources and archival materials, offers the first major appraisal of French responses to the Jewish refugee crisis after the Nazi seizure of power in 1933. It explores French policies and attitudes toward Jewish refugees from three interrelated vantage points: government policy, public opinion, and the role of the French Jewish community. The author demonstrates that Jewish refugees in France were not treated in the same manner as other foreigners, in part because of foreign policy considerations and in part because Jewish refugees had a distinctive socioeconomic profile. By examining the socioeconomic and political factors that informed French refugee policy in the 1930's, the author presents overwhelming evidence that Vichy's anti-Jewish measures were not merely the work of a few antisemitic zealots in the administration, nor did they stem solely from the desire of Marshal Pétain's government to find scapegoats for the military defeat of 1940. Rather, they enjoyed widespread popular support, not only from far-right organizations but also from a host of middle-class professional associations and their members (doctors, lawyers, merchants, and artisans) who perceived Jews as a competitive threat. The author also sheds new light on Jewish political behavior in the 1930s. She demonstrates that the French Jewish community was sharply divided over the proper approach to the refugee crisis. While some Jewish leaders pressed for a hard-line policy, others worked assiduously to provide the refugees relief and to persuade the government to pursue a more liberal refugee policy. Thus the author refutes claims that the native French Jewish elite was overwhelmingly unsympathetic to the refugees because of fear that an influx of refugees would provoke an antisemitic backlash. While this book reveals the extent to which anti-refugee attitudes and policies in the 1930's paved the way for Vichy's anti-Jewish policies, it also highlights significant discontinuities between the refugee policies of the Third Republic and those of the Vichy regime.
