George Forty and John Duncan guide the reader through the tense, strategically fraught period from the Phoney War of 1939 to the signing of the armistice in June 1940, illuminating the human cost and the chain of command decisions that sealed France's fate.\n\nRichly illustrated and meticulously researched, this work stands as a compelling account of one of the Second World War's most consequential turning points, presenting a balanced analysis of Allied unpreparedness against the Wehrmacht's revolutionary warfare doctrine. Forty and Duncan's combined military expertise lends the narrative both authority and accessibility, ensuring that armchair historians and seasoned scholars alike will find themselves gripped — and haunted — by the question of whether France's fall was truly inevitable, or a disaster that could have been averted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269338669275,"sku":"2026200014881-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/5c72cb2b-24b6-4efd-ae60-4d6c30b57f7a.png?v=1788998505","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014881-secondhand-the-fall-of-france-disaster-in-the-west-1939-1940","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
