Gildea, France since 1945 (2002)

Robert Gildea.
France since 1945, Updated Edition.
Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2002.
(First published in 1996.)

Book Information: Publisher; Google Books; Amazon.com.

Warning on book production:
Since 2009 this book is being produced from digitized images of the earlier "real" printed book. Unfortunately, the illustrations were not captured at a very high resolution and the resulting images are, I think, inadequate. The book's map of France and images of the distribution of parties in the legislature are very blurry.
