Liberal democracies have always accepted the need to go to war,
despite the fact that war can undermine liberal values. Wars may be
won or lost, not only on the battlefield, but in the perceptions of
the publics who pay for them. Presentation is therefore
increasingly important. Starting with the First World War, the
first major war fought by liberal democracies after the emergence
on mass media, Liberal Democracies at War explores the relationship
between representations of liberal violence and the ways in which
the liberal state understands 'rights' in war. Experts in the field
explore crucial questions such as: * How have the violences of war
perpetrated in their names been communicated to publics of liberal
democracies? * How have representations of conflict changed over
time? * How far have the victims of liberal wars been able to
insert their stories into the record?
In this new biography, Andrew Knapp concisely dissects each of the
major controversies surrounding General Charles de Gaulle, leader
of the Free French during the Second World War and President of
France from 1959 to 1969. From the beginning of de Gaulle's
military career in 1909 to an analysis of legacies and myths after
his death in 1970, this study examines the path by which the French
came to honour him as the greatest Frenchman of all time, and as
the twentieth century's pre-eminent world statesman. In each
chapter, Knapp analyses de Gaulle's participation in key events
such as the development of France's resistance against Nazi
Germany, the decolonisation of Algeria, the birth of the French
Fifth Republic, and the gigantic upheaval of May 1968.
Simultaneously, this study questions de Gaulle's actions and
motives throughout his life. By exploring the justification of the
contemporary 'de Gaulle myth', Knapp concludes by shedding new
light on the influence of de Gaulle in the political culture of
twenty-first-century France. Through careful analysis of primary
sources as well as recent scholarship, this biography is an
invaluable source for scholars and students of modern history, the
history of France, political institutions, and international
relations.
