Title : The Queens of France in the Time of the Bourbons - Simone Bertière - book Summary : What was the fate of queens in ancient France? Simone Bertière continues here a fascinating and original historical investigation with two women who would leave their mark on the 17th century: Marie de Medici and Anne of Austria. Both played a considerable political role, since, as mothers of Louis XIII and Louis XIV respectively, they were regents of the kingdom for many years. A whole century of our history comes to life through these two interwoven biographies, which combine the rigor of historical exposition and the finesse of psychological analysis, in a lively and animated narrative. A success crowned by the prestigious Grand Prix d’histoire Chateaubriand-La Vallée-aux-Loups 1996. EAN : 9782253145295 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : Louis XIV Volume 2 - The Winter of the Great King - Max Gallo - book Summary : This winter of 1683 seems to mark the twilight of a unique reign. The ailing king wages a courageous struggle.

A comedy that this anxious, aging man struggles to play. Until the end, Louis governs, deciding the fate of France as well as his own salvation.

Title : De Gaulle my father - Interviews with Michel Tauriac, volume 1 - Philippe de Gaulle - book Summary : If there is one statesman who has inspired biographers, it is Charles de Gaulle. But who can know him better than his own son, this privileged witness who experienced every stage of his epic journey up close? Who can better describe him with his family, with all the doors of the house closed, surrounded by his children and grandchildren, and lovingly watched over by his wife, listening to him when he speaks and does not want to be heard, translating the slightest inflection of his voice and his silences? Who can reach his heart even in the most secret moments, share his confidences on everything, as much on his private life as on History, on his arm wrestling with Churchill and Roosevelt, on his quarrels with Pétain or Giraud? On poetry and on the forest, as on the failure of Dakar, his relations with the resistance and his face to face with Stalin? If Philippe de Gaulle agreed for the first time to engage so deeply with Michel Tauriac's incisive questions, it was not only to answer the questions that continue to be asked about the author of his days, but also to destroy fabrications and abusive interpretations, set the record straight, and shed light on the mysteries that still hover over various affairs - such as the assassination of Darlan and the General's coup against the Allies to liberate Paris, retain Strasbourg, and cross the Rhine. More than a collection of interviews, this book is an unprecedented testimony that reads like a novel. EAN : 9782259197540 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The torrent and the dike - Algiers from May 13 to the barricades - Jacques Massu - book Summary : On May 13, 1958, from the balcony of the Algerian Ministry, General Massu, responsible for maintaining order in the department of Algiers, faced with a riot that threatened to become a revolution, announced the creation of a Committee of Public Safety and launched his famous appeal that paved the way for General de Gaulle's return. On June 4, after being "the object of wild acclamations," de Gaulle responded to Massu, who had read him the address of the Committee of Public Safety: "You have been the torrent and the dike." On January 19, 1960, he recalled Massu to Paris and abruptly removed him from his command. Massu would not return to Algiers. What happened during this eighteen-month period that explains such a decision? First published a year after The Real Battle of Algiers, in 1972, The Torrent and the Dike is the crucial testimony of the man who was the key figure in Algeria during the first months of General de Gaulle's return to power.

Title : The Honor of War - The Truths of an Algerian Officer - Déodat Puy-Montbrun - book Summary : Everyone bears the weight of their actions. Déodat Puy-Montbrun doesn't claim to be a historian. He asks questions. Until now, he had remained silent about the war in Algeria. The way history is being written today has made him decide to speak out. Heir to a large feudal house in Languedoc, a Protestant among Catholics, orphaned by the First World War, and enlisted at barely twenty years old in the Second World War, Déodat Puy-Montbrun participated in all the battles of the French army, from the Resistance to Algeria, including Indochina and the special services. Although a Free Frenchman, distinguished by twenty-seven war titles including nineteen citations, he paid dearly, at the dawn of the Fifth Republic, for his sense of military honor. Determined to break with contemporary simplifications and amalgamations, Déodat Puy-Montbrun, wounded six times, insists on respecting the truth. Especially when addressing subjects as delicate as torture. He bears witness today for a generation that has no reason to be ashamed of the way it served its country. The section devoted to Algeria was reviewed by military historian Jean-Paul Pace. EAN : 9782226132086 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo

Title : The Forgotten of the Algerian War - Delpard Raphaël - book Summary : It seemed to us that everything had been said about the Algerian War. However, the research carried out by Raphaël Delpard brings to light heavy files, which have remained secret for forty years. • The testimonies of conscripts, prisoners of the FLN, who, for the first time, recount the horrors of their detention. • The shooting of March 26, 1962 in Algiers, where the French army fired on a pacifist demonstration, killing 80 people and wounding 200. The families have still not managed to have an investigation opened. • The abandonment of the harkis by France. • The kidnappings of French and pro-French Muslim soldiers and civilians: 25,000 people whose bodies have never been found. • The massacre of 2,000 French people in a single day in Oran, on July 5, 1962. • The secret agreement between the metropolitan government and the FLN, with the aim of forcing the pieds-noirs to leave Algeria as quickly as possible... Burning pages, revealing plots and state crimes and showing how and why the silence was organized and prolonged by all the governments that have succeeded one another since EAN : 9782738217578 Used book Book in good condition The book matches the photo
