\tNEW BOOK<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cFrom Occupation to Integration: Revitalizing the French Zone of Post-Nazi Germany, 1945-1955\u201d by \u00a0Drew Flanagan, assistant professor of history at Pitt\u2013Bradford (LSU Press, 2026)<\/p>\n
\n\tFlanagan\u2019s research traces how the French occupation zone became an early laboratory for the kind of cross-border economic and cultural integration that would eventually define the European Union. The book grew out of his doctoral dissertation, completed at Brandeis University in 2018. While researching postwar Europe, Flanagan kept coming across documents in which French occupiers had a distinctive tone focused on \u201ccivilizing\u201d the German population, drawing them back into the broader current of Western European culture after years of Nazi barbarism.<\/p>\n
