Book Reviews of To Lose a Battle: France 1940

Book Review: A fine one-volume history of the 1940 Battle of France
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a fine one-volume history of the Battle of France. It covers both the military and political aspects of the campaign and illuminates, in detail, the reasons for France's abject failure to halt the Germans: political corruption, an ossification in thinking at the highrst military levels and the strife between France's socialist working classes and the very wealthy.
