Publisher Synopsis
a major contribution * Modern and Contemporary France, Volume 15, Number 4 * Diamond has an excellent eye for the striking detail...as a work of history, this book is an invaluable account of the fall of France, seen through the lens of the sufferings of its citizens. * Carmen Callil, Financial Times (FT Magazine) * A vivid and poignant account... a forgotten moment of the devastation of war brought to life. * Robert Gildea, author of 'Marianne in Chains' * Hanna Diamond...tells the story vividly and even-handedly. [This] book benefits greatly from the vast number of r witness memoirs. * Allan Massie, Literary Review * Gripping reading. * Max Hastings, Sunday Times (Culture) * A fascinating story, rich in biblical drama, and one that has not been previously told in English. [Diamond] is excellent at describing the political machinations that culminated in Paul Reynaud's resignation...[a] valuable book. * Walter Cook, Tribune * The strength of Diamond's book is to convey the poignancy, drama and ambiguity of an experience that directly touched the lives of many more people than the Resistance ever did... her readable book superbly conveys the strange unreality of those hot summer days of 1940. * Julian Jackson, Times Higher Education Supplement * Diamond has providedus with a compelling account of the exodus, one which vividly brings to life a period of profound upheaval in French society. * Lynne Taylor, The English Historical Review * Read more...
