Abstract

This article presents information on the book "The French Nation," by D.W. Brogan. Books continue to be written about what's wrong with France and the French, but none digs a scalpel so surely into the canker of French politics as Charles de Gaulle's simple statement, and few explain better than Brogan's "The French Nation" what the statement means. After reading "The French Nation" it is not hard to understand some of the reasons why Felix Gaillard won a resounding vote of confidence in the National Assembly on the issue of the Tunisian bombing, despite the revulsion of world opinion.
