Fall of France Disaster in the West, 1939-40

 

This book is a remarkable example of what can be achieved when two very different kinds of creative talent are set to work on the same important task. In this case, to record the astonishing sequence of events leading up to Germany's attack on France in May 1940, and the no less astonishing conquest that followed. Looking back after 50 years , it is now clear that Hitler's triumph must stand as one of the most important and far-reaching military victories in the whole of Europe's long history. Lt.Col George Forty, a professional solder now retired and John Duncan a seasoned editor and journalist lived through the events they so vividly described.
