Review: STRANGE DEFEAT: A STATEMENT OF EVIDENCE by Marc Bloch

Matt from Matt’s Book Blog recently reviewed Strange Defeat:  A Statement of Evidence by Marc Bloch.  Here’s an excerpt:

In 1940, soon after the fall of France, he wrote Strange Defeat:  A Statement of Evidence, an analysis of why the Germans were victorious in as little as six weeks, especially in light of the perceptions that Hitler would never be so reckless as to attack and that, if he were, the French would win.
