(Although France entered the Great Depression later than t...)
Although France entered the Great Depression later than the rest of the world, French governments failed to learn from the experience of other countries in combating it. This book is the first full study of the formation of economic policy in these crucial years, and of the political debate to which it gave rise. It examines the origins of the notion of planning and the "planomania," which gripped France in 1934; and it shows why this solution was ultimately rejected.

This definitive new history of Occupied France explores the myths and realities of four of the most divisive years in French history. Taking in ordinary people's experiences of defeat, collaboration, resistance, and liberation, it uncovers the conflicting memories of occupation which ensure that even today France continues to debate the legacy of the Vichy years.

This exciting book by Julian Jackson charts the breathtakingly rapid events that led to the defeat and surrender of one of the greatest bastions of the Western Allies and thus to a dramatic new phase of the Second World War. The search for scapegoats for the most humiliating military disaster in French history began almost at once: were miscalculations by military leaders to blame, or was this an indictment of an entire nation? Using eyewitness accounts, memoirs, and diaries, Julian Jackson recreates, in gripping detail, the intense atmosphere and dramatic events of these six weeks in 1940, unraveling the historical evidence to produce a fresh answer to the perennial question of whether the fall of France was inevitable.

(This is the first full-length study in English of the Pop...)
This is the first full-length study in English of the Popular Front, the left-wing coalition which emerged in France during the 1930s in response to the threat of fascism and which went on to win the elections of 1936, giving France her first socialist premier, Léon Blum. The book views the Popular Front at three levels - as a mass movement, political coalition and government - and argues that it must not be seen just as a narrowly political phenomenon but as a political, social and cultural explosion which attempted to break down the barriers between all areas of human activity in the highly compartmentalised society of France in the 1930s.

(In Paris in 1954, a young man named André Baudry founded ...)
In Paris in 1954, a young man named André Baudry founded Arcadie, an organization for "homophiles" that would become the largest of its kind that has ever existed in France, lasting nearly thirty years. In addition to acting as the only public voice for French gays prior to the explosion of the radicalism of 1968, Arcadie - with its club and review - was a social and intellectual hub, attracting support from individuals as diverse as Jean Cocteau and Michel Foucault and offering support and solidarity to thousands of isolated individuals. Yet despite its huge importance, Arcadie has largely disappeared from the historical record. The main cause of this neglect, Julian Jackson explains in Living in Arcadia, is that during the post-Stonewall era of queer activism, Baudry's organization fell into disfavor, dismissed as conservative, conformist, and closeted.

Julian Jackson's magnificent biography, the first major reconsideration in over twenty years, captures Charles de Gaulle as never before. Drawing on the extensive resources of the recently opened de Gaulle archives, Jackson reveals the conservative roots of de Gaulle's intellectual formation, sheds new light on his relationship with Churchill, and shows how he confronted riots at home and violent independence movements from the Middle East to Vietnam.

Julian Timothy Jackson was born on April 10, 1954.
Julian Jackson was educated at the University of Cambridge where he obtained a Doctor of Philosophy in 1982, having been supervised by Professor Christopher Andrew. His dissertation was a study of the impact of the 1930s Depression on French politics.
After many years spent at the University of Wales as a Professor of History, Swansea, Julian Jackson joined Queen Mary University of London History Department as a Professor of Modern French History in 2003. His research interests include: The crisis of the 1930s in France: Socialism, Popular Front, economic depression; The German Occupation, Vichy France, Resistance; De Gaulle and the history of Gaullism; The "1968" years; History of Homosexuality; Debates about memory in modern France; French film 1930s-1960s.
Julian Jackson's first book, The Politics of Depression in France, 1932-1936, published in 1985, clearly shows how and when the Great Depression affected France during the 1930s. Jackson shows that although the Depression struck France later and more mildly than it did Germany or the United States, it persisted longer. An important reason for this, according to Jackson, was the almost hysterical resistance in France to the devaluation of the franc. The 1930s were marked by one failed policy after another, which, Jackson writes, sapped the country's vitality and its ability to resist the aggression of Nazi Germany. Neither the Right nor the Left were able to come up with any sort of economic stimulus plan, and the governments (there were eleven cabinets from 1932 to 1936) opted for a program of economic stagnation as the only way out of the economic downturn.
The Popular Front, an anti-Fascist coalition of communists, socialists, and radicals formed in February of 1934. In The Popular Front in France: Defending Democracy, 1934-38, published in 1987, Jackson traces the movement from its origins in 1936 to its collapse on the eve of the Anschluss in March of 1938. Jackson provides fresh insight into Léon Blum's period in office, including France's choice of nonintervention in the Spanish Civil War and the important changes in workers' conditions. Through numerous examples, Jackson shows that the seeds of failure were present from the beginning. In retrospect, however, Jackson does feel that the Popular Front was not a complete failure.
France: The Dark Years, 1940-1944, published in 2001, is the first comprehensive study of the German occupation of France. Jackson examines the nature and the extent of collaboration and resistance, the persecution and deportation of Jews, and the cultural life in France under the occupation. In France: The Dark Years, Jackson methodically goes about exploring not only the events of wartime France but also the roots of the Vichy government and the Resistance.
Julian Jackson's book "France: the Dark Years, 1940-1944" was short-listed for the Los Angeles Times History Book Prize and translated into French in 2003. "The Fall of France" was one of the winners of 2004 Wolfson History Prize. In 2018, he became the sixth winner of The American Library in Paris Book Award for his biography, "A Certain Idea of France: The Life of Charles de Gaulle."
