France
is
the
most-visited
country
in
the
world.
It
attracts
millions
of
tourists,
most
of
whom
come
in
search
of
beautiful
architecture,
good
food,
and
fine
art.
But
appearances
can
be
deceptive.
France
is
not
only
a
place
of
culture
and
glamour;
it
also
carries
the
bitter
memories
of
violence,
division
and
broken
promises.In
this
arresting
book,
Emile
Chabal,
a
leading
specialist
of
contemporary
France,
tells
the
story
of
a
paradoxical
country.
From
the
calamitous
defeat
by
Hitler's
armies
in
1940
to
the
spectacular
gilets
jaunes
protests,
he
explores
the
contradictions
that
have
shaped
French
history
over
the
last
eighty
years.
The
picture
that
emerges
is
one
of
a
nation
struggling
to
reconcile
its
core
political
values
with
the
realities
of
a
diverse
society.Listen

the
author

the
book

Panchasi
