La extraña derrota (Strange Defeat) is the fundamental testimony by Marc Bloch, one of the most influential historians of the 20th century, regarding the collapse of France in 1940. Written from his experience as a staff captain, the author offers an implacable and profound look at the causes of the defeat against the Hitlerian push, turning his account into a collective examination of conscience regarding French society at the time. This edition also includes the clandestine political writings that Bloch drafted during his participation in the French Resistance, until his capture and execution by the Gestapo in 1944.
