Vichy Syndrome: History and Memory in France Since 1944 (Revised)

From the Liberation purges to the Barbie trial, France has struggled with the memory of the Vichy experience: a memory of defeat, occupation, and repression. In this provocative study, Henry Rousso examines how this proud nation — a nation where reality and myth commingle to confound understanding — has dealt with les ann es noires. Specifically, he studies what the French have chosen to remember — and to conceal.
