In Resistance and Liberation, Douglas Porch continues his epic
history of France at war. Emerging from the debâcle of 1940,
France faced the quandary of how to rebuild military power, protect
the empire, and resuscitate its global influence. While Charles de
Gaulle rejected the armistice and launched his offshore crusade to
reclaim French honor within the Allied camp, defeatists at Vichy
embraced cooperation with the victorious Axis. The book charts the
emerging dynamics of la France libre and the Alliance, Vichy
collaboration, and the swelling resistance to the Axis occupation.
From the campaigns in Tunisia and Italy to Liberation, Douglas
Porch traces how de Gaulle sought to forge a French army and
prevent civil war. He captures the experiences of ordinary French
men and women caught up in war and defeat, the choices they made,
the trials they endured, and how this has shaped France's memory of
those traumatic years.
