In November of 1936, Manuel Chaves Nogales, disheartened by the course of the civil war, decides to leave Spain and go live with his family in Paris. Once there he collaborates with both French and Latin American presses, and even begins a small publication about the current Spanish situation aimed at Republican exiles. Knowing he has been targeted by the Gestapo, mere days before the Nazis invade Paris in 1940, Chaves Nogales leaves the city for Bordeaux and then London, where he will remain until his death. In this work, Chaves Nogales draws on his own knowledge as well as the numerous testimonials he had access to in Paris in order to try to explain the reasons that drove France to succumb to Fascism and sign an armistice with Germany in June of 1940. His vast experience in international matters and his extraordinary ability to interpret current events help him outline a lucid account about how the country that had been a beacon of democracy around the world for over a century handed itself over to Nazism. "En noviembre de 1936, Manuel Chaves Nogales, descorazonado por el rumbo que esta tomando la guerra civil, decide abandonar Espana e instalarse con su familia en Paris. Alli colaborara con la prensa francesa y latinoamericana e incluso pondra en marcha una publicacion semiartesanal sobre la actualidad espanola dirigida a los exiliados republicanos. Sabiendose fichado por la Gestapo, pocos dias antes de que los nazis entren en Paris en 1940, Chaves Nogales abandona la ciudad para dirigirse a Burdeos y desde alli a Londres, donde permanecera hasta su muerte. En esta obra Chaves Nogales se sirve de sus conocimientos y de los multiples testimonios a los que tuvo acceso en Paris para tratar de explicar las razones que llevaron a Francia a sucumbir ante el fascismo y firmar un armisticio con Alemania en junio de 1940. Su amplia experiencia en temas internacionales y su extraordinaria capacidad para interpretar los acontecimientos de la actualidad le ayudan a trazar un lucido relato sobre como el pais que habia sido durante siglo y medio el faro de la democracia en el mundo se puso en manos del nazismo.
