The Republic in Danger by Martin S Alexander
Previously reviled as 'the man who lost the Battle of France', General Maurice Gamelin is here presented as an individual working against civil-military friction to re-arm France against a growing German threat.
' … immensely thorough, dispassionate and well written … This impressive volume, developing the themes of previous revisionist interpretations, throws new light on pre-1939 French politics and strategy and shows that Gamelin deserves considerable credit for the degree of preparedness and civil-military co-operation that was achieved' The Times Literary Supplement
'Martin has set himself the difficult task of salvaging Gamelin's reputation, and he marshals vast scholarship and admirable clarity of exposition to that end, making a major contribution to the grim history of appeasement and rearmament.' The Observer
'Martin Alexander's book will long be a landmark in the political and military history of the 1930s.' European History Quarterly
