But in 1918, French General Franchet d'Esperey refused to stay dumped; instead he struck boldly at the heart of Germany through Belgrade and Vienna. Palmer tells the story of D'Esperey's swift and decisive drive in highly readable style, and wonders aloud why this strategy was not followed three years earlier...

Director Luciano Salce watches them so well, as they quarrel about money and friends and whether to go out or stay home, that even the familiar soap-opera material comes alive-the painful propinquity of two sour, seedy people sharing the bathroom in the morning, the wife-switchy tension that flickers beneath the surface as a bored foursome takes a Sunday drive...
