Críticas:
Dr. Judith Hughes has devised a modest title for her very wide sweep of interbellum French military history. Not content with penetrating analyses of the post war "population problem," the intricacies of politico-military relations, the unfolding formulation of strategic-tactical concepts in light of 1914-1918, the intermeshing of foreign and military policy, and, on title-target, the political alignments in legislating army reform and frontier organization (Maginot Line), Dr. Hughes offers an epilogue on the implication of the 1920s for the 1930s and even for May-June 1940. If at times Dr. Hughes covers familiar ground, she does so with the same thoroughness and perception she exhibits in more "original" sections of this well-researched book. -- Donald J. Harvey Military Affairs 19721201 [An] admirable little monograph...[Hughes] has demonstrated what can be done to overcome obstacles of official secrecy through resourcefulness in collecting evidence and ingenuity in interpretation. Moreover, instead of working backward from 1940, seeking causes and culprits of collapse in the 1930s, Ms. Hughes has wisely chosen to begin in 1918 and to focus upon the 1920s. This chronology has given her a fresher perspective and a wider scope for sympathy than other commentators of the period. It is the great merit of this book that it passes judgments with compassion and restraint. Indeed, Professor Hughes insists upon viewing French military policy in the broadest possible context of international developments, domestic politics, economic problems, and intellectual moods; from these elements, she weaves a dilemma of tragic dimensions in which the confusions and mistakes of individuals are reviewed with kindness and realism. -- Charles C. Bright Political Science Quarterly 19730901 [A] stimulating and excellently documented book...Individual personalities are particularly well handled. Foch and Petain, Poincare and Blum--all emerge with veritable life in them. The trends of French interwar history are deftly carried through onto these pages with an unobtrusive lucidity and persuasiveness. -- Michael Hurst American Historical Review 19740201
Reseña del editor:
The decision to fortify north-eastern France has usually been considered a tragic mistake, an example of bad planning and missed opportunities. In this book, Judith M. Hughes provides a counter-argument, providing a convincing view of how France's military and political leaders tried to safeguard their nation, and why they failed.
