Story3
Although he didn’t create absolutism in France, King Louis XIV seemed to embody the divine right of kings better than anyone had before him. Louis XIV directly correlated his own private good with that of the public good, but not everyone in France had the same sentiment. The resistance from the French nobles and aristocrats that Louis depended on to raise armies gave these nobles increasing autonomy and independence from the king, which would one day come to a head.

Story2
What is the connection between a rise in the number of random attacks against Jews on the streets of France and strategically planned terrorist acts targeting the French population at large? Before the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, the Bataclan night club, and others made international headlines, Marc Weitzmann had noticed a surge of seemingly random acts of violence against the Jews of France. His disturbing and eye-opening new book, Hate, proposes that both the small-scale and large-scale acts of violence have their roots in not one, but two very specific forms of populism.

Jomini was regarded as the preeminent strategist and writer of his generation, while Clausewitz was virtually unknown outside the General Staff of the Prussian Army. In the intervening period, Clausewitz has come to be regarded as the most important writer and strategic analyst of the period, whereas the writings of Jomini have been discarded and largely ignored. As a result, many military historians and strategists have only recently begun to understand how important Jomini was and how relevant his writings remain today.

During World War II many escape-line organizations contributed to the Allied cause by funneling hundreds of servicemen out of occupied Europe. As the Germans tightened their noose, the risk of discovery only grew for the servicemen who needed safe passage across the Pyrenees. In early 1944 two important escape-line organizations operated in southwestern France, handing over many fugitives to French passeur Jean-Louis Bazerque. Along with several of his successful missions, his only failure as a passeur is recounted in gripping detail in So Close to Freedom.

Gallipoli: the mere name summons the story of this well-known campaign of the First World War. And the story of Gallipoli, where in August 1915 the Allied forces made their last valiant effort against the Turks, is one of infamous might-have-beens. If only the Allies had held out a little longer, pushed a little harder, had better luck, Gallipoli might have been the decisive triumph that knocked the Ottoman Empire out of the First World War.

Todos los franceses conocen al Charles de Gaulle militar, al político, al hombre de Estado, y todos recuerdan su guasa, su ingenio, su sentido del humor y su habilidad para la réplica aguda. Y, por supuesto, su causticidad inimitable. Todos los que lo rodeaban fueron sus víctimas, al igual que ese partido político del que él declaraba: «No puedo decir que los deteste. Se puede detestar a Hitler o a Stalin. No se puede detestar la nada». Cada una de sus agudezas daba en el blanco, cualquiera que fuera el objetivo; pero el humor, feroz a más no poder, nunca era verdaderamente gratuito.

The revolutions that raged across Europe and the Americas over seven decades, from 1760 to 1825, created the modern world. Revolutionaries shattered empires, toppled social hierarchies, and birthed a world of republics. But old injustices lingered on and the powerful engines of revolutionary change created new and insidious forms of inequality. In The Age of Revolutions, historian Nathan Perl-Rosenthal offers the first narrative history of this entire era.

In 1914, an American journalist retired to a small house in France - only to find herself in the middle of World War I, and eventually having an impact on the US's actions in the war. This is the story of 59-year-old Mildred Aldrich and her experiences of the First World War. She retired to a small hilltop house called La Creste in 1914, with views across the Marne River and Valley, little realising that she would become embroiled in the first major battle of the war. In spite of the danger, she decided to stay and help the British and French soldiers.

It was a time when the French New Wave of cinema was taking the world by storm, a time of glamour, sports cars, casinos, and nightclubs—and at the heart of it all, the man of the moment, the enigmatic film star Alain Delon, dubbed "the most beautiful man in the world."

Nous avons tous appris un jour que Clovis était le premier des rois de France. Qui sait qu'en Allemagne, il est considéré comme un roi allemand ? De Saint Louis, on garde l'image d'un grand souverain, rendant la justice sous son chêne. On ignore qu'il imposa aux Juifs de porter l'équivalent de l'étoile jaune. Jeanne d'Arc est la grande héroïne du Moyen Âge. Pourquoi a-t-on oublié toutes les autres ? Nombreux sont les Français qui s'intéressent à notre passé, nombreux aussi ceux qui se désolent de mal le connaître.
