Abstract
- This article presents information on the book "France My Country, Through the Disaster," by Jacques Maritain. The author of this article reports that Maritain is a French Christian poet, whose spiritual vision and his temporal hope are sharply modulated to the experience of France. In this book, the psychology of the dazing defeat is explained; and of the people under the Nazi asphyxiation. The mind here at work has quite as much information as the journalists and modish novelists, but moves within dimensions which the shallow gentlemen ignore. Maritain traces Machiavellianism to its final flowering in the false religion of political separatism which Liberal, Communist, Socialist, Nazi, and Vichy Catholic all share.
