The Decline of the Third Republic, 1914 - 1938 (The Cambridge History of Modern France)

by Philippe Bernard (Author), Henri Dubief (Author), Thony Forster (Translator)
4.4 out of 5 stars 7 ratings
This book provides a detailed account of the Third Republic in France between the outbreak and conduct of the First World War and the fall of Leon Blum's Front Populaire soon after Hitler's invasion and annexation of Austria in 1938. Following the trauma of war, France slipped into the "era of illusions" which despite the comparative prosperity of the 1920s led to the slump and the severe social and economic unrest of the 1930s. The short-lived experiment of Blum's Front Populaire gave way to more conservatively-based ministries, but by 1938 a new common enemy began to draw together the political opinion of the country.

    A bit dated but informative. Writing is rather dry.

    Bought it for a class. Super boring. It's probably really good if you're into this stuff though. I, however, am not.

    Probably not the most exciting of books for the general public, but I need this for academic reasons and I have no complaints. It is extremely detailed and has provided me with a deep background knowledge of the topic. The second hand copy I received was in good condition and despatched quickly.
