Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La défaite de 1940 ébranla la France entière ainsi que la communauté internationale. Une des plus grandes puissances du monde, une armée de près de cinq millions d'hommes était vaincue en quelques semaines. Les responsables n'ont jamais été présentés en détail ; le sujet est resté tabou en France. La plupart du temps les chefs militaires ont été accusés et ces derniers ont cherché à se couvrir en trouvant des boucs émissaires parmi les cadres subalternes et certaines personnalités politiques... La victoire de 1945 a quasiment clôt le débat. Pour la première fois, cet ouvrage présente les raisons et déchiffre les responsabilités, aussi bien sur le plan militaire, que politique, diplomatique et intellectuel... Dominique Lormier, historien et écrivain, membre de l'Institut Jean Moulin et de la Légion d'honneur, est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs spécialistes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et de la Résistance. Il est l'auteur d'une centaine d'ouvrages dont La Bataille de France, jour après jour, mai-juin 1940 (Le Cherche-midi, 2010, 7 000 ex. vendus), Les 100 000 collabos : le fichier interdit de la collaboration française (Le Cherche-midi, sept. 2017, 4 500 ex. vendus), Nouvelles histoires extraordinaires de la Résistance (Alisio, nov. 2018) et Les grandes affaires de la libération (Alisio, avril 2019).

Book excerpt: N°1 aux Etats-Unis, douze millions d'exemplaires vendus dans le monde, les Chasseurs de la Nuit sont de retour. La défaite a été maintes fois analysée, justifiée : mauvaise préparation de l'armée, stratégie purement défensive, réarmement insuffisant, état-major en retard d'une guerre, pacifisme débilitant, impact d'une "cinquième colonne", complot contre la République... Tout cela est vrai. Reste que la plupart des historiens ont tendance à analyser une suite d'événements à la lumière de leurs conséquences visibles. Dès lors, les histoires de la défaite n'ont-elles pas eu tendance à faire le procès de la France des années 1930 à partir du résultat de la confrontation franco-allemande ? L'avantage des historiens étrangers, invités ici, est de poser un regard distancié sur l'histoire française, renouvelant ainsi en partie l'étude de cette période, sur le plan de la stratégie et des opérations militaires comme sur celui de l'environnement de la défaite (rôle de l'Empire, sort des réfugiés, etc.). L'ambition du Centre d'études d'histoire de la Défense, en réunissant ces textes, est de porter à la connaissance du public français ces résultats de la recherche anglo-saxonne et allemande. Leurs conclusions surprendront plus d'un lecteur et mettront à mal bien des idées reçues...

This book was released on 2007 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couverture indique : "Le 18 juin 1940 à Munich, tout s'était passé comme si Hitler n'avait eu d'autre souci que d'aller au-devant des espoirs du nouveau gouvernement français qui venait la veille de solliciter un armistice. Il déclara à son compère Mussolini qu'il allait faire un " pont d'or à la France " : elle ne serait pas occupée en totalité, elle serait désarmée certes, mais elle aurait la garde de ses bateaux une fois rentrés au port et elle s'administrerait elle-même sur tout son territoire, outre-mer compris. Lorsqu'il eut connaissance de ces conditions, le gouvernement de têtes militaires présidé par le Maréchal Pétain signa des deux mains. L'intention de poursuivre la lutte outre-mer avait été, en France, celle du président du Conseil en fonction jusqu'au 16 juin, Paul Reynaud, celle de ses principaux ministres et aussi celle du Président de la République et des présidents des Assemblées parlementaires. Leur départ pour l'Afrique du Nord avait été organisé dans les moindres détails. Outre-mer, cette volonté était partagée par tous les responsables civils et militaires, au premier rang desquels le Général Noguès. S'il se résolut " la mort dans l'âme " à l'armistice, ce fut d'abord parce que le concours de la Marine, promis puis retiré par l'Amiral Darlan, lui fit au dernier moment défaut. Si De Gaulle resta longtemps bien seul, sa vision stratégique et sa perception de l'honneur du pays furent sur le moment beaucoup plus largement partagés qu'on le croit encore aujourd'hui."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1940 and 1945, more than 100,000 airmen were shot down over Europe, a few thousand of whom survived and avoided being arrested. When Men Fell from the Sky is a comparative history of the treatment of these airmen by civilians in France, Germany and Britain. By studying the situation on the ground, Claire Andrieu shows how these encounters reshaped societies at a local level. She reveals how the fall of France in 1940 may have concealed an insurrection nipped in the bud, that the 'People's War' in Britain was not merely a myth, and that in Germany, the 'racial community of the people' had in fact become a social reality with Allied airmen increasingly subjected to lynching from 1943 onwards. By considering why the treatment of these airmen contrasted so strongly in these countries, Andrieu sheds new light on how civilians reacted when confronted with the war 'at home'.

Book excerpt: As Hitler's victorious armies approached Paris, panic gripped the city and the roads heading south filled with millions of French citizens, fleeing for their lives, with scant supplies and often no destination in mind. All hoped, as famed author Simone de Beauvoir wrote in her diary, "not to be taken like a rat in Occupied Paris." In Fleeing Hitler, historian Hanna Diamond paints a gripping picture of the harrowing escape from Paris, highlighting the hardships people suffered in their desperate flight, and underscoring the impact this exodus had on life under Vichy rule. Using eyewitness accounts, memoirs, and diaries, Diamond shows how this ordeal became for civilians and soldiers alike the defining experience of the war. She tells how, in the Paris region alone, close to four million people left their homes and fled south, swelling the numbers of refugees until is was impossible to direct the flow of humanity. The result was total chaos with an enormous price to pay in terms of human misery and suffering. Many lost their lives as this vast caravan of predominantly women, children, and the elderly faced truly harsh conditions, and even starvation. Then, after the German offer of peace, as the traumatized population returned home, preoccupied by the desire for safety and bewildered by the unexpected turn of events, they put their faith in Marshall Petain who was able to establish his collaborative Vichy regime largely unopposed, while the Germans consolidated their occupation. The first time this important story has been told in English, Fleeing Hitler captures in moving detail the devastating flight and early days of occupation after the fall of France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the fall of France in the Second World War has been recorded by historians and remembered within society. It argues that explanations of the fall have usually revolved around the four main themes of decadence, failure, constraint and contingency. It shows that the dominant explanation claimed for many years that the fall was the inevitable consequence of a society grown rotten in the inter-war period. This view has been largely replaced among academic historians by a consensus which distinguishes between the military defeat and the political demise of the Third Republic. It emphasizes the contingent factors that led to the military defeat. At the same time it seeks to understand the constraints within which France’s policy-makers were required to act and the reasons for their policy-making failures in economics, defence and diplomacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the French-American Foundation Translation Prize for Nonfiction Jean Gu?henno's Diary of the Dark Years, 1940-1945 is the most oft-quoted piece of testimony on life in occupied France. A sharply observed record of day-to-day life under Nazi rule in Paris and a bitter commentary on literary life in those years, it has also been called "a remarkable essay on courage and cowardice" (Caroline Moorehead, Wall Street Journal). Here, David Ball provides not only the first English-translation of this important historical document, but also the first ever annotated, corrected edition. Gu?henno was a well-known political and cultural critic, left-wing but not communist, and uncompromisingly anti-fascist. Unlike most French writers during the Occupation, he refused to pen a word for a publishing industry under Nazi control. He expressed his intellectual, moral, and emotional resistance in this diary: his shame at the Vichy government's collaboration with Nazi Germany, his contempt for its falsely patriotic reactionary ideology, his outrage at its anti-Semitism and its vilification of the Republic it had abolished, his horror at its increasingly savage repression and his disgust with his fellow intellectuals who kept on blithely writing about art and culture as if the Occupation did not exist - not to mention those who praised their new masters in prose and poetry. Also a teacher of French literature, he constantly observed the young people he taught, sometimes saddened by their conformism but always passionately trying to inspire them with the values of the French cultural tradition he loved. Gu?henno's diary often includes his own reflections on the great texts he is teaching, instilling them with special meaning in the context of the Occupation. Complete with meticulous notes and a biographical index, Ball's edition of Gu?henno's epic diary offers readers a deeper understanding not only of the diarist's cultural allusions, but also of the dramatic, historic events through which he lived.

Book excerpt: The World War II aviator and author of The Little Prince tells his true story of flying a reconnaissance plane during the Battle of France in 1940. When the Germans first invaded France in May of 1940, the French Air Force had a mere fifty reconnaissance crews, twenty-three of which served in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Group II/33. After only a few days, seventeen of the crews in Saint-Exupéry’s unit had already perished. Flight to Arras is the harrowing story of a single mission over the French town of Arras, an endeavor Saint-Exupéry realized the futility of even as he witnessed it unfolding. Filled with tension, emotion, philosophy, and historical detail, and penned by a master storyteller, this extraordinary memoir serves as a record of a little-known chapter of the Second World War, and an unforgettable portrait of the brave souls who fought despite desperate odds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this innovative theoretical book, Elizabeth Kier uses a cultural approach to take issue with the conventional wisdom that military organizations inherently prefer offensive doctrines. Kier argues instead that a military's culture affects its choices between offensive and defensive military doctrines. Drawing on organizational theory, she demonstrates that military organizations differ in their worldview and the proper conduct of their mission. It is this organizational culture that shapes how the military responds to constraints, such as terms of conscription set by civilian policymakers. In richly detailed case studies, Kier examines doctrinal developments in France and Great Britain during the interwar period. She tests her cultural argument against the two most powerful alternative explanations and illustrates that neither the functional needs of military organizations nor the structural demands of the international system can explain doctrinal choice. She also reveals as a myth the argument that the lessons of World War I explain the defensive doctrines in World War II. Imagining War addresses two important debates. It tackles a central debate in security studies: the origins of military doctrine. And by showing the power of a cultural approach, it offers an alternative to the prevailing rationalist explanations of international politics. Originally published in 1997. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 40 years after the concept of finite deterrence was popularized by the Johnson administration, nuclear Mutual Assured Destruction (MAD) thinking appears to be in decline. The United States has rejected the notion that threatening population centers with nuclear attacks is a legitimate way to assure deterrence. Most recently, it withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, an agreement based on MAD. American opposition to MAD also is reflected in the Bush administration's desire to develop smaller, more accurate nuclear weapons that would reduce the number of innocent civilians killed in a nuclear strike. Still, MAD is influential in a number of ways. First, other countries, like China, have not abandoned the idea that holding their adversaries' cities at risk is necessary to assure their own strategic security. Nor have U.S. and allied security officials and experts fully abandoned the idea. At a minimum, acquiring nuclear weapons is still viewed as being sensible to face off a hostile neighbor that might strike one's own cities. Thus, our diplomats have been warning China that Japan would be under tremendous pressure to go nuclear if North Korea persisted in acquiring a few crude weapons of its own. Similarly, Israeli officials have long argued, without criticism, that they would not be second in acquiring nuclear weapons in the Middle East. Indeed, given that Israelis surrounded by enemies that would not hesitate to destroy its population if they could, Washington finds Israel's retention of a significant nuclear capability totally "understandable."
