Teaching the French Popular Front.

Wall, Irwin M.

History Teacher, v20 n3 p361-78 May 1987

Examines the French Popular Front of 1936 as a vehicle to investigate the turbulent decade of the 1930s. Reviews current historiography and discusses various facets of Leon Blum's government, examining the interrelationship of major economic and political forces. Concludes that the French Left still faces Blum's dilemma of implementing socialism with equally unhappy results. (DH)
