À propos de cette écoute

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.

    An absolute joy to rediscover this monumental work which I first read over 40 years ago. Shirer's command of the language and meticulous research make this a classic of modern history. His intimate knowledge of the events and his ability to bring the characters alive are unparalleled, but his superbly crafted prose is never overwhelmed by the facts. From beginning to end his writing is vigorous, precise, cultivated and totally accessible.

    Superbly and subtly read by Grover Gardner who mirrors the precision and faultless rhythm of the prose. With only one reservation, however : Gardner's pronunciation of French, especially the names of many protagonists is often approximate and at times downright poor. This is disappointing, but given the overall standard of excellence of this work and its production, a flaw to which we may turn a blind eye, or deaf ear as the case may be.

    Outstanding! Riveting!
