CHARLES L. ROBERTSON. When Roosevelt Planned to Govern France
It is well known that during the early course of American participation in World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt planned on an American military occupation of France following its liberation by U.S. and British troops. The occupation never happened. Moreover, as Charles L. Robertson shows in this short and eminently readable book, there was never much real preparation for it either, and when the Normandy landings took place, France quickl…
Commentary on Globalizing de Gaulle
Four distinguished analysts of French foreign policy under Charles de Gaulle provide in-depth assessments of the new book edited by Christian Nuenlist, Anna Locher, and Garret Martin, Globalizing de Gaulle: International Perspectives on French Foreign Policies, 1958–1969, published by Lexington Books. The commentators praise the book's wide scope and many of its essays and broad themes, but they raise questions about Garret Martin's contention (s…
France Votes
The French elections of 2012 resulted in an unprecedented and overwhelming victory by France's Socialist Party, which gained control of the presidency and an absolute majority in the National Assembly to go with the party's existing domination of most of France's regions and municipalities. But the Socialist Party remains a minority party in the French electoral body politic, its victory the result of a skewered two-ballot electoral system. The S…

France, the United States, and the Algerian War
Journal 1955-1962: Reflections on the French-Algerian War (review)
Mouloud Feraoun was a distinguished, French-educated, Algerian writer who chronicled the Algerian War in this Journal and died at the hands of the European colonists' terrorist organization, the OAS [End Page 195] (Organisation de l'Armée Secrète), little more than a month after giving the manuscript to his publisher (Editions du Seuil) and only days after the war's official end in March 1962. The Journal has long been known to students of the Al…
De Gaulle, the ‘Anglo-Saxons’, and the Algerian war
Rejecting the orthodoxy of French diplomatic historiography that de Gaulle was the founder of a new French independence and effected a revolution in French diplomacy after freeing himself from the Algerian yoke in 1962, this essay argues that de Gaulle sought from 1958 to make Algeria a central plank of his diplomatic strategy. That strategy sought to transform the relationship with Algeria in order forit to become the key to a neo-colonial Frenc…
France, the United States, and the Algerian War
“Algeria was a clear case of a Third World revolution that Washington believed it could accept,” notes the French historian Irwin M. Wall. In this detailed and well-written new book, Wall examines the divergent views of the governments of the United States and France regarding the insurrection that broke out in Algeria against French colonial rule in 1954 and lasted until independence in 1962. While the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration conside…
France, the United States, and the Algerian War
This book unravels the intertwining threads of the protracted agony of France's war with Algeria, the American role in the fall of the Fourth Republic, the long shadow of Charles de Gaulle, and the decisive post-war power of the United States. At its heart is an analysis of how Washington helped bring de Gaulle to power and a penetrating revisionist account of his Algerian policy. Departing from widely held interpretations of the Algerian War, th…
France at War: Vichy and the Historians
This volume about the Vichy years and the German Occupation of 1940-1944 uses as a starting point Robert Paxton's Vichy France: Old Guard and New Order, which provided a meticulously documented portrait of a nation consumed by indecision and self-doubt. The essays by the foremost scholars in the field place the Occupation of France in the context of other episodes in French history, and in the context of other occupied countries during World War …

American Historical Association Conference
The 1995 American Historical Association's 109th annual meeting was held in Chicago. Many presenters touched on working-class issues, and panels that focused on working-class and labor history topics comprised 10 percent of the conference. Several sessions linked class analysis and labor questions to issues of gender and race. In "African American Activism in the South During the Roosevelt Era," the papers demonstrated the nexus between unions, e…

Front Populaire, Front National: The Colonial Example
The popular front strategy, by which the French Communist party (PCF) came to mean a tactical alliance of the left including the Socialists and the left-leaning elements of the petty bourgeoisie represented by the Radical party, was pursued only briefly by the PCF in the 1930s, from 1934 to 1936. This is ironic, since it is by the slogan of the Front Populaire that the period of the 1930s in French history was to be subsequently known and remembe…

Les accords Blum-Byrnes. La modernisation de la France et la guerre froide
The Blum-Byrnes agreements, France's modernization and the Cold War, Irwin M. Wall. The financial agreements signed on 1946 May 28 between France and the United States are sometimes viewed as a step in the « alienation » of national independence, a premise to the Cold War. American archives allow that interpretation to be changed. Far from being a one-way negotiation, the Blum-Byrnes agreements reflected the context of 1946. On the French side, e…
The French Communists and the Algerian War
The case against the French Communists' handling of the Algerian war was formulated by Jean-Paul Sartre as early as January 1957. Accusing the party of spinelessly running after the Socialists, Sartre complained that the Communist press spoke of Algeria with 'moderation', that there had been a notable absence of national party effort against the war, either in the form of meetings, demonstrations, or strikes, and that worse, Thorez's backing of t…
French Socialism and the Popular Front
While the Popular Front in France has been the subject of a steadily increasing volume of historical inquiry in recent years, the internal history of its major component party, the French Section of the Labour and Socialist International (SFIO), has until recently escaped detailed analysis.1 This is in one sense not surprising. Although the socialists were the dominant party in the government coalition of I936, the SFIO itself, qua party, had ver…
The Resignation of the First Popular Front Government of Leon Blum, June 1937
As the first year of Popular Front government drew to a close in the spring of 1937, widespread disillusionment and dissatisfaction with the Blum government's policies increased daily on the French left.' Still, none of the shocks experienced by the supporters of the Popular Front was so rude or productive of despair as that occasioned by the government's fall. Blum's abandonment of power left little hope that the highly unpopular policy of nonin…
Socialists and Bureaucrats: The Blum Government and the French Administration, 1936–37
The failure of the Popular Front government of 1936–1937 was at least two-fold: from the national standpoint it was able neither to formulate a foreign policy of anti-fascism nor to bring France out of the economic crisis; from the narrower political perspective it was unable to prevent a growing sense of disillusionment and recrimination among its constituents. Both aspects have received increasing attention from historians in recent years, alth…

The French Communists under François Mitterrand
One of the most historically significant aspects of the presidency of François Mitterrand was his experiment with Communist participation in his government from June 1981 to July 1984. Mitterrand was looking beyond the Parti Communiste Français (PCF) to its working-class constituency, whose alienation from the French political system he hoped to end; the Communists, for their part, were no longer pursuing policies of unity on the left when his vi…
