"This stimulating and valuable collection ... does a superb job of
demonstrating the intricacies of this acutely troubling problem." .
H-Diplo "This excellent volume of essays ... the editor and
publisher are to be congratulated on a valuable and handsome
volume." . The Journal of Military History ..". makes available a
rich offering of the latest research on the defeat of 1940." . The
International History Review Why France, the major European
continental victor in 1918, suffered total defeat in six weeks at
the hands of the vanquished power of 1918 only two decades later
remains moot. Why the stunning reversal of fortunes? In this volume
thirteen prominent scholars reexamine the French debacle of 1940 in
interwar perspectives, utilizing fresh analysis, original
approaches, and new sources. Although the tenor of the volume is
critical, the contributors also suggest that French preparations
for war knew successes as well as failures, that French defeat was
not inevitable, and that the Battle of France might have turned out
differently if different choices had been made and other paths been
followed. Joel Blatt teaches at the University of Connecticut at
Stamford.
