In the United States there has been a wide divergence of views on
the role of France's Navy in World War II. We have tended to remain
trapped by wartime half-truths. This book attempts to set the
record straight. Koburger's study discusses the history of U.S.
dealings with Vichy France, especially in the French Antilles and
St. Pierre et Miquelon. It describes and examines TORCH--U.S.
landings in French North Africa--and its impact on us; the
subsequent establishment of U.S. bases there and elsewhere on
French soil; the rebuilding by the U.S. of the French Navy; and the
results of our efforts. Koburger concludes that the United States
did not do enough with the French, but "considering the era and the
circumstances, we did the best we could hope to do."
