The History Of Modern France by Jonathan Fenby
A sweeping narrative of France’s political, social and cultural evolution from the revolutionary era to the contemporary period, tracing how successive regimes, wars, charismatic leaders and mass movements shaped the nation’s institutions and identity; it examines the rise and fall of empires, the trauma of two world wars and occupation, the consolidation of republican government, the decolonization process, postwar reconstruction and economic modernization, and the tensions of immigration, European integration and globalization—arguing that persistent themes of centralization, republicanism and the struggle between tradition and change explain France’s distinctive modern trajectory.
