About the book

Marc Bloch's Strange Defeat is an eyewitness analysis of France's rapid military collapse in 1940. A historian and army officer, Bloch examines failures of leadership, military organisation and political culture rather than blaming the defeat on simple cowardice or lack of resources. The result is both a wartime testimony and a penetrating study of institutional failure.
