BOOKLIST January 1st & 15th, 2006:"Kedward...writes a superbly researched and comprehensive account of France from the apex of French imperial power to the close of the century...a valuable and often provocative examination."
FOREIGN AFFAIRS Jan/Feb 2006:
"Kedward's work as a historian has dealt mainly with the heroism and tragedy of the French Resistance, but his new volume does for France since 1900 what Tony Judt has done for Europe since World War II: it provides a sweeping narration of an extraordinarily complex, agitated, often ferocious, and profoundly confusing period of history. ...Kedward is fully the master of his subject."
TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT (London), Jan. 20, 2006:
"It is hard to do justice to the richness of this dense, magesterial and humane book."
--John Mark
