Description:
The most comprehensive reference work in its field, this book covers a broad range of topics -- military, political, economic, social, 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.
