Media Reviews
wide-ranging ... The story is regularly enriched by nuggets of unexpected information. * Patrick Marnham, Spectator, 7 July 2001 *
a valuable addition to the continuing debate over France's collapse in 1940 and the Vichy government's subsequent cooperation with the Nazis * Contemporary Review *
this analysis reads very fresh, as though what happened might have turned out differently * The Guardian *
