Índice.Sumario: Unlike previous authors who described these events as a succession of blundering initiatives by inept political and military leaders, this books illustrates how French political and military leaders succeeded in overcoming disastrous circumstances to repeatedly shape forced compromises, accepting the least bad possible, to succeed in rebuilding the fleet through the terrible ordeal of the Second World War and the arduous renaissance of the Cold War
A diferencia de autores anteriores que describieron estos acontecimientos como una sucesión de iniciativas torpes de dirigentes políticos y militares ineptos, este libro ilustra cómo los dirigentes políticos y militares franceses lograron sobreponerse a circunstancias desastrosas para configurar repetidamente compromisos forzados, aceptando lo menos malo posible, para lograr reconstruir la flota a través del terrible calvario de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el arduo renacimiento de la Guerra Fría
