Synopsis
Marc Bloc, the world renowned historian, fought in both world wars and in 1942 at age 50, he became active in the French Resistance. Two years later he was caught by the Germans, tortured and executed. This book, left in draft, is a moving document and a penetrating analysis of the disaster he witnessed firsthand. Though written early in the Occupation of France, it is free from bitternesss and recrimination, and its detailed criticism of the French disaster is conducted throughout with detachment and intellectual integrity.

Review
Much has been, and will be, written in explanation of the defeat of France in 1940, but it seems unlikely that the truth of the matter will ever be more accurately and more vividly presented than in this statement of evidence. -- P. J. Philip, New York Times Book Review
The most wisdom-packed commentary on the problem set [before] all intelligent and patriotic Frenchmen by the events of 1940. -- D. W. Brogan, Spectator
