Insightful analysis of the failure of France in the invasion of Nazi Germany by renowned French historian Marc Bloch. Written in 1940, he joined the resistance and was captured and executed by the Nazi's in 1944. His analysis of the senior nature of French leadership, both politically and militarily, the parochial views of different segments of French society, and the failure of education and the media all speak to current events in the US.
The ebook that i read was primitive, with typos, and difficult to navigate. The book seemed to have footnotes referenced, but I never was able to access them. These flaws, while irritating, do not detract from the power of Bloch's analysis.
