H. R. Kedward Books

Harry Kedward was a British historian who specialized in the history of Vichy France and the Resistance. Oral history formed a central part of Kedward's historical approach, as he interviewed hundreds of ordinary French men and women about their experiences during the Resistance. This focus on personal testimonies allowed him to create a deeply human portrayal of this historical period. His work also encompasses a general history of 20th-century France, offering a broader perspective on the country's development.
