Marshal Philippe Petain was, in the words of historian Andrew Roberts, 'the most controversial Frenchman of the twentieth century.' This title tells the story in detail, all the way to Petain's ignominious end, and not stinting to show his culpability in the Vichy persecution of French Jews and its suppression of the internal Resistance.
