In May 1940 Germany invaded France and within six weeks had triumphantly seized control of Paris. The Allies' complacency was replaced with a sense of helplessness as they were defeated by a new kind of dynamic warfare; it seemed that the Nazis were unbeatable.
While the British gathered around their radios to hear Churchill make defiant speeches, the French suffered invasion, defeat, occupation, a hundred thousand people killed, and the imposition of a Fascist regime. For many in the West, the fall of France seemed to be the greatest catastrophe suffered by civilisation since the fall of ancient Rome to the barbarians.
'Darkness In Paris' tells the inside story of 1940 from Paris and London, brought brilliantly to life in this narrative masterpiece about a time when Western civilisation seemed to hang in the balance.
