As an international war correspondent and radio commentator, William L. Shirer didn't just research the fall of France. He was there. In just six weeks, he watched the Third Reich topple one of the world's oldest military powers - and institute a rule of terror and paranoia.

Based on in-person conversation with the leaders, diplomats, generals, and ordinary citizens who both shaped the events of this time and lived through them on a daily basis, Shirer shapes a compelling account of historical events - without losing sight of the personal experience.

From the heroic efforts of the Freedom Fighters to the tactical military misjudgments that caused the fall and the daily realities of life for French citizens under Nazi rule, this fascinating and exhaustively documented account from one of the 20th century's most important historians makes the events of the fall accessible to a younger audience in vivid and memorable style.

Shirer is, as always, is in supreme command of the facts—and in fascinating detail I have never heard elsewhere. He brings to life the causes of the tragedy I had only understood in broad terms. I can’t recommend this book highly enough for serious students of history.

Fantastic historical account

In what area of this great historical tragedy could the author be found wanting? A great scholarly achievement, generates but one response-a thank you.

If you want to understand the world before the war, read this book. I had the audiobook. It os the second book I listened to from this author. It isn't perfect or unbiased and not without its limitations, but if read against the books of Taylor, Sutton and Buchanan, it gives you a nice insight in this avoidable war. The author blames Hitler for everything and Wall Street for nothing? who paid Hitler?

a must read

Shirer is ok. But the voice of gardener makes this worth listening to. Most books of Vichy France are in French and this remains of the the major English language telling of the fall of the third republic. If you’ve read shirer before you know he has shortcoming as a historian and also dated information. but this is a good listen if you have the time

Grover Gardener delivers another superb reading of Shirers work.

Petain and Laval sought to make France 'great again' destroying the 3rd Republic and creating a Fascist regime. The forces supporting them were the uber-rich conservatives for whom democracy was a troublesome nuisance and the populous a mass to be manipulated. Anyone who disagreed was a radical socialist or communist. The democratic opposition spent as much energy fighting each other as defending French democracy. Septagenarian and octagenerian generals were oblivious to the changes in military technology left the country unprepared for the Nazi blitzkrieg.

Sound familiar?

A timely reminder
