Vladimir Pozner

The Edge of the Sword tells the heart-rending story of the common people of freedom loving France; it tells what they were doing, thinking, feeling during those six black weeks of May and June, 1940. If statesmen, diplomats, and generals figure rarely in these pages, it is because their drawing rooms were already empty, their voices stilled, their posts abandoned as the human tide of uniformed and civilian refugees moved on along the highways, through the cities, towns,and villages of a nation in collapse.--From publisher description.
