Description
The first issue of Revue d’Histoire de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale was published by Presses Universitaires de France (PUF) in November 1950. Supported by the Comité d'histoire de la Guerre, the Société d'histoire de la Guerre, and the CNRS (National Centre for Scientific Research), it appeared every quarter under editor-in-chief Prof. Henri Michel. It appeared under this name until issue no. 144, publishing research work on the origins of the conflict, policies, strategies, and battles of the warring nations. Studies and testimonies poured in from many countries.
In 1987 (no. 145), the journal expanded its field of research to include the periods leading up to and following the Second World War, thereby affirming its international scope. The new scientific journal, renamed Guerres Mondiales et Conflits Contemporains, covers all twentieth century conflicts and is recognized by the French Evaluation Agency for Research and Higher Education. Each issue (approximately 160 pages) includes a thematic collection, followed by individual articles, invaluable testimonies, literature reviews, and conference proceedings. Thematic issues may focus on how a country or group of countries reacted to twentieth century wars. Most recent titles include: Korea (no. 239), Belgium (no. 241), Italy (no. 245), the Indian Ocean (no. 246), Africa (no. 248), and Japan (no. 249). Some issues touch upon diachronic topics such as the French Foreign Legion (no. 237), while others focus on new research (Resistance, no. 242) or current issues (Gulf War, no. 244). The World War I centenary will be the subject of several thematic issues such as “Sports during World War I” (no. 251).
This quarterly journal is still published and distributed by PUF under the direction of Chantal Metzger (Professor at the University of Lorraine).
