Annotation

In 1940, the German army fought and won an extraordinary battle with France in six weeks of lightning warfare. With the subtlety and compulsion of a novel, Horne's narrative shifts from minor battlefield incidents to high military and political decisions, stepping far beyond the confines of military history to form a major contribution to our understanding of the crises of the Franco-German rivalry. "To Lose a Battle" is the third part of the trilogy beginning with "The Fall of Paris" and continuing with "The Price of Glory" (already available in Penguin).
