Prior to this book's original publication in 1959 little had been
done to dispel confusion regarding what really happened to the
French Navy during World War II. Few people realized the tragic
situation of a country forced to capitulate to a traditional enemy.
After this humiliating experience, the Navy, in its attempts to
preserve France's foreign possessions, and to supply the mother
country, found itself torn between the conflicting interests of
involved internal and international politics. Forced to scuttle
part of the fleet at Toulon, the remainder found themselves viewed
with wary suspicion by both the Germans and the Allies. That the
French Navy was able to survive at all is a minor miracle. That it
so well preserved its unanimity as to return to the fight and
participate in the final victory is in itself a tribute to the
moral, discipline, and traditions that date back to the crusades.
The French Navy in World War II is now available in paperback.
