Normandy: The Landings to the Liberation of Paris (review)

Professor Messenger's present work began as his doctoral dissertation and, as such, may not be the final word on the matter. This enlightening view into a complex period of European history and France's international relations both during the war and in the difficult aftermath is a first step. Several subjects which are only briefly touched upon call for further study. These include the wartime economic ties between France and Spain, the dependence on imports from Spain in the reconstruction of France and also the profound sympathies in French society and public opinion towards the Spanish Loyalists which began during the civil war and continued through liberation and the postwar period. One can only hope that the considerable scholarship contained in the volume and the many avenues of study it suggests bode well for further research on the subject.
