In his monumental work, Resistance and Liberation, Douglas Porch delves deeper into the intricate tapestry of France's wartime history. Emerging from the tumultuous aftermath of 1940, France grappled with the daunting task of rebuilding military strength, safeguarding its empire, and reasserting its global influence. While Charles de Gaulle rejected the armistice and embarked on an offshore crusade to reclaim French honor within the Allied camp, defeatists in Vichy chose to align themselves with the victorious Axis. The book meticulously charts the evolving dynamics of la France libre, the Alliance, Vichy collaboration, and the growing resistance against the Axis occupation. From the campaigns in Tunisia and Italy to Liberation, Porch meticulously traces de Gaulle's efforts to forge a French army and prevent civil war. He vividly captures the experiences of ordinary French men and women, immersing readers in the trials they faced, the choices they made, and the profound impact that these years had on shaping France's collective memory of this turbulent period.
