To Lose a Battle: France 1940

Very rare first print.

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.

Author; Alistair Horne

Published; USA, 1969

Condition; Fair, only front of the book jacket, back cover dented
