War and Liberation in France: Living with the Liberators

By Hilary Footitt

Book Overview

This book, coinciding with the sixtieth anniversary of the Liberation of France, takes a unique approach to the events of 1944, by seeing them as shared experiences which brought ordinary Anglo-Americans and French people into contact with each other in a variety of different communities. The book looks at the Liberation through 5 case-studies: Normandy, Cherbourg, Provence, the Pyr?n?es-Orientales and Reims, and uses the words of participants at the time to describe the developing relationship between Liberators and Liberated.
