'A concise and distinguished book' Andrew Roberts.

Jean Renoir's 1937 film La Grande Illusion is set during the First World War, but its themes of Franco-German conflict, divided loyalties in a time of war and the rise of anti-Semitism made it compelling and controversial viewing. Julian Jackson traces the film's historical context and its reception history.

The poor performance of the French economy in the 1930s has long been recognised as a major contributory factor in the decline of the Third Republic. This is the first full study of the formation of economic policy in these crucial years, and of the political debate to which it gave rise.
