Synopsis

Michael Curtis uses up-to-date research to examine the degree to which ministers and officials of the Vichy regime, the legal and administrative system, the Church, and individuals in different walks of life collaborated with Nazi Germany which occupied part of and then all of France between 1940 and 1944. Curtis reviews the careers, indictments and trials of the regime's prominent figures for crimes against humanity committed during the war, and scrutinises the ambivalent role of Francois Mitterrand as a Vichy official. This book also analyses the new official reports of the complex aryanisation process as well as the requisitioning of Jewish goods and property.

Book Overview: Definitive book on Vichy France An important historical document which adds to our understanding of the Second World War The first book on the subject for over 20 years 'To anyone who finds the fall of France in 1940 a subject of deep and unending interest, as I have always done, the clear thinking and writing of Michael Curtis in his Verdict on Vichy make it an outstanding, though unavoidably controversial, book' W.F. Deedes, Daily Telegraph 'Curtis gives good accounts of the professional and political longevity of such figures as Mitterrand, Papon and Rene Bousquet...' Michael Burleigh, Literary Review
