The Moral Disarmament of France - Mona L. (California State University Siegel - Bog

Both contemporary critics and subsequent scholars have condemned French pacifist schoolteachers of the interwar decades for cultivating antipatriotism and facilitating the defeat of 1940. In this book, Mona L. Siegel challenges such equations of teachers' pacifism with national betrayal and argues that interwar schoolteachers ultimately solidified French citizens' patriotism.
