Dutourd, Jean.
THE TAXIS OF THE MARNE. Translated From the French by Harold King.
pp. x, 244. 8vo. Original full cloth backed binding. Original dust jacket. "This is the 'Handbook of Patriotism' that is the publishing sensation of the year in France, where it has been passionately acclaimed and furiously denounced. A comparison between the France of 1914, which had the spunk and imagination to taxi its reinforcements of the Marne battlefields to save the country's life, and the France of June 1940 when 'the Generals were stupid, the soldiers did not want to die' and France was lost. The Taxis of the Marne is also the dramatic personal story of one of the most brilliant and interesting men in France today. Jean Dutourd was twenty years old when he went to war in 1940. He twice escaped from the Germans. He fought with the Resistance. An author, columnist, broadcaster, and editor, it is in this book, which seeks to discover why patriotism died for an entire generation, that M. Dutourd has evoked the deepest response - by giving voice to the angers and the aspirations of a people and an era." WWII 1
