«Histoire de France» is the historical essay by Jacques Bainville, published by Editions Tallandier in paperback (566 pages, in French).
Jacques Bainville, who as a young man found no meaning in history, set out to explain why peoples wage wars and revolutions. After two years of work, he published in 1924 this synthesis that covers the history of France from Roman Gaul to the immediate aftermath of the First World War, combining narrative elegance and analytical depth.
Work originally published in 1924; this 2020 edition includes a foreword by Antoine Prost.
Suitable for readers interested in the history of France and in the great works of twentieth-century European historiography.
Jacques Pierre Bainville was a French historian and journalist. A geopolitical theorist, concerned by Franco-German relations, he was a leading figure in the monarchist Action Française. As fascinated as he was worried by Germany which continuously grew stronger, he intensely advocated against democracy, the French Revolution, internationalism and liberalism. A plaza is named after him at the heart of the 7th arrondissement of Paris.
