Reviews

"Hellman's book is thorough, fully documented, readable ... It is surely the best study of the Ecole des Cadres that exists, marked by sure knowledge and an excellent propensity for quoting illuminating pieces of evidence to illustrate the propositions being made ... His study is a significant contribution in the field of contemporary French history." John C. Cairns, Department of History, University of Toronto.
