Recenzje

‘This book…has already won recognition as an authoritative study…it deals in a penetrating and comprehensive way with the political forces at work in France after liberation. Not least of its many virtues is that it reveals the inter-relation of economic and political forces and the outcome of their interaction in constitutional forms.’ David Thompson, The Cambridge Law Journal 11 (2).
