Paris After the Liberation 1944-1949 by Antony Beevor, Artemis Cooper
Requirements: .ePUB Reader | 3.5 MB
Overview: Early postwar France saw the trials of collaborationist leaders, de Gaulle’s reestablishment of the republic and his abrupt resignation in 1946, widespread panic at the prospect of a Communist or right-wing coup and the arrival of Marshall Plan aid, which rescued the country from economic collapse. This engaging chronicle set in Paris–a magnet for Picasso, Sartre, de Beauvoir, Camus, Wright, Orwell, Hemingway, Breton, Koestler, Philby–captures the desperation and exhilaration of those years through a blend of history, eyewitness accounts, interviews, telling incident and gossip. Beevor ( The Spanish Civil War ) and Cooper ( Cairo in the War: 1939-1945 ) illuminate the blind Stalinism of France’s "progressive" intelligentsia, protracted enmity between resisters and collaborators, early years of the Cold War and France’s love-hate relationship with the U.S.
