France After De Gaulle
del Vayo, Alvarez | March 30, 1946 issue

add to cart   close window

Any evaluation of France today runs the risk of being superficial and contradictory or telling only half-truths unless it takes account of the last six years. In 1940 the people of France awoke to find that a hurricane had swept away their nation, leaving a desolate land where men lived with no other ambition than to continue living. France faces the immense task of reconstruction with a political machine handicapped in parties and men. Capable organizers are desperately needed. Resistance is a spontaneous phenomenon, slow to be come articulated. It is life in a tunnel. Within France the underground began little by little to find its leaders.
