The fall of France in 1940 panicked US leaders, leading to their fateful decision to recognize the pro-Nazi Vichy government. Michael Neiberg takes readers back to the fraught early years of World War II, when Americäs misguided policy on Vichy alienated its British ally and ensured tensions with Charles de Gaulle and the postwar French Republic.
