Marc Bloch, a Jew and a distinguished historian of mediaeval France, was born in Lyon, the son of Gustave Bloch, a professor of ancient history.
Bloch succeeded in gaining one of the ten exceptions granted to Jewish professors on 5 Jan 1941, thus qualifying himself to accept a place on the faculty of the University of Strasbourg, which had in the meantime relocated to Clermont-Ferrand.
Bloch was warned to leave, and did so with most of his family, in two hastily organized convoys to Fougères, leaving behind what remained of his books and being relieved of his position at Montpellier for "desertion in the face of the enemy." The arrest and deportation of French Jews was ordered by Hitler.

Bloch seems to blame the generals for the problems dealing with French impotence in the face of the Germans, but he doesn't seem to dig deep enough to examine alternative explanations, such as the fact that the French had not won a war since Napoleon and were fundamentally inept compared to other war machines.
Marc Bloch, serving at the front in 1940, recalled that the German offensive actually seem to overtake each French retreat: whenever Marc Bloch's unit retreated in 1940, they constantly found the Germans in their rear.
Marc Bloch also points to the cultural factors in the French defeat, namely the French education system which ignored history and visual arts in its cirriculum.

 Marc Bloch: A Life in History (Carole Fink) - review
It is very much an intellectual biography, concentrating on Bloch's academic career and writings and on the wider currents of French history.
More generally, it contains material about academic life in France between the wars (when Bloch was trying to obtain a position in the Collège de France) and then under Vichy, and about the effects of totalitarianism and anti-semitism on the intellectual life of the Third Republic.
