MAILLAUD, P.
France. (The World To-day)
Hardcover in unclipped dust jacket. In 1939, after twenty years of economic crisis and readjustment, France was caught "on the wrong foot". From 1914 to 1918 France had stood the shock, why did she fail to do so in 1940? M. Maillaud paints the background of the collapse in terms, not of backstairs scandal, but of realities. Foreword by D.W. Brogan. 138pp., maps, 8 illustrations, index; small-sized volume, very good hardback in d/j, d/j slightly worn.
