Read the first Chapter
of Strange Defeat
Fifty
years after the debacle of 1940 and fifty years after what the author modesty
referred to as "a indictment of the year 1940" was written, tne "account"
penned by the great historian, this member of the Resistance who died for France,
remains the most penetrating and accurate analysis of the causes of the defeat.
All the knowledge that has been acquired has only served to confirm the depth
and accuracy of the judgment which, immediately after the collapse, this old
soldier - who had fought in both world wars - handed doan on this national tragedy.
