Book Description
Excerpt from Men and Manners of the Third Republic 'Your improvised chiefs of the National Defence are simply so many chevaliers du pave,9 said Bismarck to Jules Favre at their interview at Ferrieres, a fortnight after the fall of the Second Empire. Bismarck was not strictly within the truth; the ten men who kicked from their path the lifeless body of the Second Empire, killed three days previously at Sedan, were not 'knights of the pavement, ' in the sense of having won their spurs in heading popular riots; seven of them were so-called veterans of the Second Republic, the three others were political spadassins of a younger schoc I, and Rochefort, who was added to their number a few days after the 4th September, was a journalistic d'Artagnan with as much physical pluck, though not with as much stamina, as the hero of Dumas' two greatest novels. In these papers I shall treat of them in detail, for with the exception of two, I knew them all, though not to any equal degree, long before they assumed the roles of ' Saviours of France.'

Book Description
The National Book Award–winning historian’s “vivid and moving” eyewitness account of the fall of France to Hitler’s Third Reich at the outset of WWII (The New York Times). As an international war correspondent and radio commentator during World War II, 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 conversations with the leaders, diplomats, generals, and ordinary citizens who both shaped the events and lived through them, Shirer constructs a compelling account of historical events without losing sight of the human 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 brings this significant episode of history to life. “This is a companion effort to Shirer’s The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, also voluminous but very readable, reflecting once again both Shirer’s own experience and an enormous mass of historical material well digested and assimilated.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
