Collapse of the Third Republic

Macmillan

At 8:00 a.m. on May 21, 1941, a coded message arrived at the Admiralty in London. The Bismarck, the world's most powerful battleship, has been sighted heading for the North Atlantic.  Swiftly, the British organize an armada of fighting ships to pursue. Before the Bismarck can get a chance to fire on any of the British convoys, she must be sunk.  In this book William L. Shirer reconstructs the one-week chase. The fighting spirit, courage and endurance of both the British and the German officers and crews are vividly described in this dramatic authentic account of the sinking of the Bismarck.

The Collapse of the Third Republic: An Inquiry into the Fall of France in 1940

On June 17, 1940 William L. Shirer stood in the streets of Paris and watched the unending flow of gray German uniforms along its boulevards. In just six lovely weeks in the spring and summer of 1940 a single battle brought down in total military defeat one of the world's oldest, greatest, and most civilized powersâ€”the second mightiest empire on earth and the possessor of one of the finest military machines ever assembled. How did it happen? After nearly a decade of research in the massive archives left from World War II and after hundreds of conversations with the Third Republicâ€™s leaders, generals, diplomats, and ordinary citizens, Shirer presents the definitive answer in his stunning re-creation of why and how France fell before Hitler's armies in 1940. His book is also a devastating examination of the confusion, corruption, and cynicism that drained the strength and toughness of a democracy which Thomas Jefferson once called "every man's second country." This book complements and completes the dramatic story of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and continues to rank as one of the most important works of history of our time.
