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.
