Description
Young first describes the tensions within French interwar diplomacy as well as the interpretive tensions which have characterised the scholarly debate over the past fifty years. Subsequent chapters explore the roots of the national ambivalence: diplomatic and military, political and ideological, economic and psychological. In the end, we are left with the author's explanation of how France entered the second World War, and why she collapsed so quickly.
