Book description
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).
One of Britain s greatest historians, Sir Alistair Horne, CBE, is the
author of several famous books on French history as well as a two-volume
life of Harold Macmillan.
