Professor Merriman is highly knowledgeable about France and French history, but I wish he had a better appreciation for America and our history. He is fond of pointing out that America has civil rights, but no human rights. What planet does he live on? The most fundamental of all human rights...Read full review »

Je suis francais et etudiant en histoire. Et je trouve ces cours interessants!! N'oublions pas que ces cours sont donnés a des etudiants americains ce qui est satisfaisant!

Dr. Merriman is brilliant with extraordinary knowledge of French history, geography, and culture. Better yet, he is a natural and gifted teacher with a burning interest in his subject. I enjoy that he does not try to oversimplify -- historical influences are complex. And, without overdoing it,...Read full review »

I thought that the professor’s lectures were pretty informative. He surely knows his history. However, I have to give it 3 stars, because I thought his personal political beliefs infected his lectures. It was too difficult to determine where his political advocacy began and historical facts...Read full review »

I am not an expert in history, but mr merridan's course gives a deep insight on french hisory and culture. Don't listen to french guys who always critisize too much. They probably studied too long with boring teacher in dusty french universities without limited financial ressources. Mr Merridan...Read full review »

en tant que francais je dirais que ces cours sont tres incomplet et que cet historien ne traitre que l'histoire de france avec un oeuil pro americain

Fantastic ! Tremendous insights into France + French culture and character told with great wit, deep understanding and intelligence. Wish more of his lectures were available.

Merriman's lectures are awesome. Truly a man consumed with History. His organized but scatological approach sums it all up nicely. Thanks to Apple and Yale for providing access.

An excellent run through of modern French history, delivered with conviction by John Merriman. Worth a watch for any undergraduate of French with a couple of hours to spare.

This open course combines all the greatest qualities of a podcast; easily digestible "episodes" perfect for the daily commute, articulate and knowledgable narrator, interesting subject matter that doesn't require a blackboard or active engagement from the audience etc. I've enjoyed all of John...Read full review »
