AA SA~eGo "AA$~sA aPkSCdtNo AAA AtC &pSb it was Petain whom the Charles de GaulIe of World War I idolized, and it was Petain who passed a death sentence on the de Gaulle of World War IT who dared to organize the Fighting French from London. and fight on.
 RiveiOup writes pretty much as a Boswell to de Gaulle. An ardent follower, he presents the lanky French general as Frances only hope, and as the choice of true French patriots everywhere. The book is more than Q plug for dc 6aulle however: 1t gives a clear por- trait of the unsmiIing general, and of the internal conditions in France which prevented it from recognizing the farsightedness of a man who invented mechanized war as 1t was used by the Germans to crush his own land.
 Miss Planner has achieved an eK- cellent, brief biography of Petain the dyed -in- -the-wool defeatist who handed over France on a silver plat- ter. His attitude in the first great war, even though he was acclaim ed as the hero of Verdup, was one of hoplelesspess, and when you get to know him as he was then, his remark made four years ago comes as no great surprise; "A nation has to be whipped sometimes |. ., the country ought to know we have been beaten. For two years ! have been repeating 1t to myself every morp' ing"
 The story Of the old Man Of France is the story of France Rf well, Both are tragic,
