Title: Read it and Weep
Review: The author's detailed chronicle of the fall of France in World War 2 with an overview of the Third Republic from its foundation in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War and the suppression of the Paris Commune through the Dreyfus Affair, World War I and the economic and political crises of the 20s and 30s during which time the sympathy of much of the political and military elites for fascism informed their cavalier indifference to the Nazi threat which led, in spite of its many material advantages, to France's humiliating rout in 1940. A good companion book to the excellent documentary, "The Sorrow and the Pity"
