About this title

Synopsis

Three hundred black-and-white photographs and little-known documents--including posters, newspaper articles, and leaflets--accompany a vivid, close-up look at life in France during the German occupation during World War II, along with commentaries from eight distinguished French historians. History Bk Club.

Reviews

Despite a recent upsurge of revisionist works that detail the extent of French collaboration with the Nazis under the Vichy regime, the myth of a proud, defiant French people struggling to resist tyranny still has compelling power within France. Thus, this collection of photographs and the accompanying commentaries by eight prominent French historians is bound to reopen old wounds and shatter comfortable illusions on both sides of the left-right schism. The photographs, many of them previously unseen, hit with stunning impact. The casual, often comfortable relations between the French and their occupiers is unsettling, and the images of the quick resort to brutality by both the collaborationists and the resistance are shocking to view. The essays, each treating a specific aspect of life under the regime, are generally objective and they avoid sweeping generalizations about either side. This is a brilliant, powerful, and painful combination of visual images and the written word, which will cause many to rethink their assumptions about the period. Jay Freeman
