Title: Typical Ugly-American, condescending twrds WWII real heroes.
Review: All references to Charles de Gaulle are demeaning and distort the true impact he had on the turnabout and the final outcome of WW II. True, Churchill provided a home base, but he, let alone the American leadership, didn't devise how to go against the Axis. It is de Gaulle who motivated and led the Free French, without whom the Panzers would have just kept on rolling all the way to Africa. And where were the Americans before 1944, when 20 millions people were getting killed, soldiers and civilians? UNDECIDED IN CONGRESS!. Plus a change, plus c'est la mme chose! This book is but one of the fine examples of prejudice towards the French leadership and the great exaggerations about the U.S. decisive influence in WWII and other periods that are unabashedly fed to the American public in every portrayal of European historical events. And just where do you teach, Prof. Stokesbury?
