This is a comprehensive but readable history of contemporary France that sets the changing fortunes of both people and government in a broad, international context. Larkin looks at the country's economic performance and social and political records, comparing them with those of France's European neighbors. He also assesses foreign policy in light of the opportunities afforded by the international circumstances of the time.
