'Reinventing French Aid is an ambitious, multi-layered and multi-scale history that is international and transnational, but also distinctly French. It offers important new insights into politics and policy in the French occupation zone while telling a rich story about the experiences and interactions between displace persons and relief workers. Humbert brings the many threads of this complex yet compelling history together with great skill to create a clear narrative that contributes in significant ways to an impressive number of fields and debates.' Claire Eldridge, University of Leeds
