France in Guerard’s Modern History A lively critique
W R Rogers calls Albert Guerard’s France in the History of the Modern World a first-rate, readable study. The book traces France from Charlemagne through the Revolution to de Gaulle, arguing for a balanced appraisal amid wartime upheavals and national identity shifts. It surveys kings from Louis the Pious to Louis XIV, notes missed chances at revolution, and lauds France’s self conscious national evolution.
