Publisher's Synopsis
In Defence of France offers a crucial insight into the political and strategic thinking of France on the eve of the Second World War. Written by Edouard Daladier, the French Prime Minister who signed the Munich Agreement, this volume presents a powerful justification for France's policies during a period of immense international tension.
Daladier addresses the pressing issues facing France, including national defense, foreign policy, and the challenges of maintaining peace in a rapidly destabilizing Europe. He articulates the difficult choices and considerations that shaped French decision-making, providing a firsthand account of the complexities of leadership during a time of crisis.
This book is an invaluable historical document for anyone seeking to understand the dynamics of pre-war Europe and the perspectives of those who struggled to avert the looming catastrophe. It sheds light on the strategies, dilemmas, and ultimately, the failures that led to the outbreak of global conflict.
