The balloon post during the siege of Paris, 1870–71
This article investigates the development of balloon and pigeon-sent microfilm, both for military purposes and as a propaganda technique in besieged Paris in 1870–1871. It examines the aerial press used to communicate with the provinces, to help coordinate the actions of the French army, and to boost civilian morale. It analyses the content and reception of material sent in these ways and its effect on the mood in Paris, the objectives of the aut…
Sur les chemins de l’exode
Au printemps 1940, des milliers de réfugiés belges fuirent leurs foyers pour trouver refuge en France, réitérant ainsi l’exode de l’été 1914. Nombre d’entre eux transitèrent par le département de l’Eure, certains y demeurant quelques jours, d’autres quelques semaines. L’étude de l’exode à l’échelle du département eurois permet de saisir certaines dynamiques spécifiques, de l’ordre de la solidarité familiale ou de la réinsertion économique et soci…
German Wartime Anglophobic Propaganda in France, 1914–1945
This article explores Anglophobia as a topic in German wartime propaganda aimed at military and civilian communities of France. Anti-British topics were at the centre of a large campaign of propaganda designed to undermine French morale during the two world wars. This study will investigate the goals, the content, and the effects of Anglophobia in France to determine the relation between these two campaigns of psychological warfare. It will be ar…
Kings of the Air
To this day, First World War aviation remains immensely popular. Aces flying colourful aeroplanes continue to feature in novels, movies, comics and even video games. This aerial myth is not new; war propaganda was keen to promote a heroic conflict in the sky, one that contrasted with the mud of the trenches. Considering how popular this topic still is, there is a surprising lack of English-language studies of French aviation during the First Worl…
De Munich à Dantzig
Paul de Villelume was a career officer and worked as an attaché to the French Foreign Office from 1935 to 1940. His role as liaison between the army and the ministry, as well as his presence at several key meetings gave him the opportunity to witness important events which shaped the future of France and the world. Parts of Villelume’s diaries, covering 1939–40, have already been published by Fayard in 1976. This new book is only concerned with a…

Le génocide des Arméniens et l'opinion publique française durant la Première Guerre Mondiale
Durant la Première Guerre Mondiale, la presse parisienne de l'arrière évoque abondamment le génocide des Arméniens, tant pour dénoncer les massacres que pour alimenter un discours propagandiste visant à la mobilisation de guerre de la société civile. Les journaux voient en l'Allemagne l'instigatrice du génocide, plaçant la souffrance arménienne dans la continuité des exactions commises à l'encontre des Belges. Certains journaux parisiens se serve…
Organizing for war
A considerable amount of attention has been devoted to the consequences of the defeat of France during the Franco-Prussian war, and Revanchisme has usually been at the centre of the debate, despite recent attempts to re-examine the subject and its effects on the young Third Republic. According to some scholars such as Chanet, Joly or Mitchell, the spirit of Revanchisme was more prominent inside the intellectual society than the government, more i…
The RAF's French Foreign Legion
Books and studies about French pilots fighting for the RAF during the Second World War tend to exist solely to focus on tales of heroism. The autobiography of Pierre Clostermann or the posthumous diaries of René Mouchotte are two famous examples of personal accounts mythologizing the realities of war as lived by a majority of less successful pilots. Bennett’s refreshing study diverts attention from individual gallantry to focus on the strategic a…
