    <![CDATA[A renowned historian and Resistance fighter --later executed by the Nazis --analyzes at first hand why France fell in 1940. Marc Bloch wrote Strange Defeat during the three months following the fall of France, after he returned home from military service. In the midst of his anguish, he nevertheless &quot;brought to his study of the crisis all the critical faculty and all the penetrating analysis of a first-rate historian&quot; (Christian Science Monitor). Bloch takes a close look at the military failures he witnessed, examining why France was unable to respond to attack quickly and effectively. He gives a personal account of the battle of France, followed by a biting analysis of the generation between the wars. His harsh conclusion is that the immediate cause of the disaster was the utter incompetence of the High Command, but his analysis ranges broadly, appraising all the factors, social as well as military, which since 1870 had undermined French national solidarity.]]>

    <![CDATA[Avec la publication de cette nouvelle édition de l'ouvrage posthume de Marc Bloch, son fils aîné, Étienne Bloch, nous livre aujourd'hui le texte dans son intégralité et sans modification aucune. En effet, Lucien Febvre n'avait pu disposer, au lendemain de la guerre, de tous les manuscrits et avait, par ailleurs, procédé à quelques remaniements. C'est dire combien cette édition est capitale: on y découvrira l'oeuvre dans sa forme intégrale, le travail d'un historien affirmant l'intérêt de l'histoire, légitimant une science historique, définissant des pratiques, des objectifs, une éthique, son «métier». On y redécouvrira aussi la modernité de cette réflexion, du regard porté sur l'histoire, cette «science en marche», cette «science des hommes dans le temps», grâce auquel se fonde l'espoir que «les sociétés consentiront enfin à organiser rationnellement, avec leur mémoire, leurs connaissance d'elles-mêmes».]]>

    <![CDATA[Great historians have seldom described the notable events in which they themselves participated. Marc Bloch - author of Feudal Society, the classic study of medieval social systems and co-founder of the influential French historical journal Annales - is an exception, In his powerful memoir The Strange Defeat, he analysed the fall of France in 1940 from the viewpoint of combatant as well as historian. And in his Memoirs of War, 1914&#8211;15, here in its first English translation (originally published in hard covers in 1980 by Cornell University Press), Bloch left a keen and affecting account of his earliest experience of war. Carole Fink's introduction includes a brief biography of Bloch, discusses the effect of the war upon his intellectual development, and assesses his achievements as a historian. Though Bloch survived the savage trench warfare of the First World War, he was shot by a Gestapo firing squad in 1944 for his participation in the Resistance. Trenchant, inspiring, and tersely written, Memoirs of War, 1914&#8211;15 is a monument to a great scholar and fierce patriot.]]>
