Alfred Cobban has now expanded A History of Modern France into three volumes and has added some completely new material. This volume covers the period from the Franco-Prussian war to de Gaulle. Professor Cobban writes: For a thousand years France was a monarchy; it has been a republic for less than a hundred. In spite of French traditionalism, in spite of a succession of weak governments and two disastrous world wars, this republic managed to survive and even to achieve greatness. The Third Republic saw a splendid flowering of the arts; the Fifth has finally achieved many of the long overdue social and international aims of France. In this book, Professor Cobban steers the reader skilfully through the political and social problems besetting modern France. His balanced and stimulating account of the three republics is invaluable to anyone interested in the development and present position of a great European nation. The cover shows an enlarged photograph of a one Franc piece of 1916 (kindly supplied by Messrs B. A. Seaby Ltd)
