The Hollow Years: France in the 1930sW. W. Norton & Company, 1996 - 352 páginas The author and narrator of the PBS program "The Western Tradition" presents a scintillating introduction to a troubled French decade. Caught between the memory of a brutal war won at frightful cost and fear of another cataclysm, France in the 1930s suffered a failure of nerve. Brilliantly chronicled here by a master historian, this fateful era could neither solve insoluble problems nor escape from them. |
