Description
Post-liberation Paris is a complex and charged era, marked by both joy and recrimination. The city's liberation in August 1944 was met with jubilation, but also with recriminations and the trauma of purges. As the country struggled to come to terms with its past, the intellectual debates of the young were set against the backdrop of everyday life, including hunger, fuel shortages, and the mundane realities of occupation.
This book provides a thrilling and detailed account of the drama and upheaval of one of history's most fascinating eras. It explores all aspects of life in post-war Paris, from diplomacy and strategy to rationing, politics, and the international scene. With a lightness of touch, the authors bring to life the complex events of this period, drawing on official documents, private archives, memoirs, and histories.
