Показать описание
This week on History Happy Hour: After its shocking defeat to the Nazis in 1940, how did France respond? In his book "Resistance and Liberation 1942-1945," historian Douglas Porch traces how Charles de Gaulle sought to forge a French army and prevent civil war.

Chris and Rick talk to Douglas about the experiences of ordinary French men and women caught up in war and defeat, the choices they made, the trials they endured, and how this has shaped France's memory of those traumatic years.

Sunday at 4 PM, where history is always on tap.

Rick Beyer and Chris Anderson lead weekly historical programs that are engaging and euridite. Their guest authors always impart new aspects of American and World history that definitely expands my world vision. I'm probably going to sign up for a tour with Rick or Chris after I finish my research in the archives.
