François Picard is pleased to welcome Julian Jackson, the British historian, author and Emeritus Professor of Modern French History at Queen Mary University of London. His biography of General de Gaulle laid the foundation for France’s two-part biopic, "De Gaulle: Résistance". And on the heels of this surprise box-office hit, Jackson’s book is now available in French: La Chute : France 1940. He takes us back to the occupation of Paris and the extraordinary collapse of France in the summer of 1940. #CharlesDeGaulle #WWII #France Read more about this story in our article: https://f24.my/CCma.y 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.m
