Title: A sad ending for a war hero
Product review: I wasnt very informed regarding Petain and his problems after WW II, that's why i picked up this book and i am glad i did.The author does a very good job in describing Petain,his early childhood and his start as a soldier for France.It is very impressive Petain's rise as a soldier and officer in the French Army.The author does a very good job in describing how petain became the "Victor of Verdun".Overall is a very good book.The only flaw in the book is that the author sometimes "slows down" the narrative especially those years in WWII giving us just too many details while then fast forwards from WW II to Petain's trial.But again a good book to get an overview of France during the war.Concerning Petain altough the book tries to give the reader the reasons why Petain acted they he did, it is dificult to understand his actions and i can see why he was guilty.Maybe he meant well but his way of doing things were far from correct.
