Posner, Charles (Editor)
Publisher: Penguin BooksYear Published: 1970 Pages: 318pp Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX11518 In May 1968 France was on the threshold of something entirely new. In this 'pre-revolutionary situation' nothing went unquestioned. The writers, trade unionists and students who contribute to this volume all believe our future is foreshadowed in the events of May.
