Charles Williams' major biography of Philippe Petain (1856-1951) tells of a peasant who became a Marshal of France and the Head of the Vichy State. A slow climb up the army ranks was leading inexorably to retirement when war broke out. He defended Verdun in 1916 and settled the mutinies in 1917. In May 1940, he realised that France had been defeated and requested an armistice. As head of unoccupied France, he jockeyed between Nazis, Allies and Vichy politicians until, in 1945, he returned to France to be tried for treason. His death sentence was commuted by General de Gaulle to life imprisonment. In recounting Petain's long life, Lord Williams, one of our most notable political biographers, has successfully illustrated the character of an extraordinary man.

"The week France fell gives a vivid and moving picture of a country in defeat. While the refugees leaving Paris struggled to keep one step ahead of the advancing German armies, their political and military leaders were fighting not so much the Germans as among themselves. There is Paul Reynaud, the French premiere -- courageous in his way but hampered by his pro-German mistress, H?l?ne de Portes; the arrogant General Weygand, commander-in-chief of the French army, and the senile Marshal P?tain both committed to an armistice with the Germans. There is the tall figure of de Gaulle who struggled so hard to persuade the government to fight on from North Africa. And of course there is Churchill, at the very heart of the story, whether planning the war in London or flying first to the French army headquarters, and then to the bomb-scarred airfield near Tours, in last-minute efforts to bolster French morale. Against this background of bickering and futility, Noel Barber has arrayed a gallery of ordinary men and women whose lives were caught up in the tragedy. They include Zena Marshall, then a schoolgirl, who had a terrifying journey from Brussels to Bordeaux after her school had been bombed; Drue Tarti?re whom chance placed in a small room in Bordeaux next to P?tain when he made his surrender speech; and Corrine Luchaire, the French actress, who found milk to save just a few of the starving children, among the eight million refugees who clogged the roads"--Jacket.

Hitler S Gift To France written by Georges Poisson and has been published by Enigma Books this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2008 with History categories.
In the dead of the winter of 1940, Hitler decided to return from its burial place in Vienna the ashes of Napoleon II, known as the "Aiglon," the only son of the emperor Napoleon. The gesture was intended to win the support of the French people, but only managed to precipitate a political crisis at Vichy, where Marshal P�tain ordered the pro-German Deputy Prime Minister Pierre Laval arrested. Based on new research and previously unknown documents, the author, historian Georges Poisson, at last sheds light on an incident most historians--including Robert O. Paxton--have been at a loss to explain.
