Assignment to Catastrophe
''Assignment to Catastrophe'' is a two volume memoir by Sir Edward Spears of his experiences as Winston Churchill's personal representative to the Prime Minister of France from August 1939 to June 1940 and the Fall of France. As a source for historians it provides an valuable insight into the interior workings of the French governments of Paul Reynaud and Edouard Deladier from the perspective of an outsider.
==Prelude to Dunkirk==
The first volume is titled ''Prelude to Dunkirk'' and covers the period from August 1, 1939 to May 31, 1940.
The book opens with an idyllic description of luncheon with the Churchills at Chartwell on August 1, 1939 and introduces a theme which becomes extremely important throughout the work: Spears' great admiration for Winston Churchill. The description of a sunny, enjoyable afternoon is contrasted with the discussion of the impending war in which Spears is careful to note all Churchill's (eventually correct) predictions about the coming war.
