He is the first post-WWII leader of France to be imprisoned. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on this unprecedented moment in French history, Stuart Norval is joined by fellow journalists Clovis Casali, Philip Turle and Ellen Gainsford, and expert analysis of our guest Dr. Andrew Smith, historian of modern France and Lecturer in Liberal Arts at Queen Mary University of London.
