"Read another chapter ("Who is Fighting Whom?"). I know I'm reading this in retrospect, but good god, the in fighting between the British and French was so stupid. How did they possibly manage to win the war with so much childish squabbling? I do like how this section gave some context for the Vichy regime, I would like for more though in future chapters. I only have about 3 pages so far." — Feb 03, 2026 12:04PM
