Our Vichy Gamble
“Dr. Langer, Coolidge Professor of History at Harvard, is one of the foremost diplomatic historians of our day. During the war he was head of the Research and Analysis Branch of the Office of Strategic Services. While serving in this capacity he was invited by Secretary Hull to prepare an account of American policy toward France from May 1940 to the assassination of Darlan on Christmas Eve of 1942. Abundant, though not complete, documentation was placed at his disposal and he talked with many of the principals in the drama.

Sometimes hyperrealistic, Lopez Garcia has been criticized by many art critics for neoacademism and praised by others, like Robert Hughes, who consider him a master Realist.

The volume includes a text by art historian Jose M. Faerna.
