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.
