Vichy France: Old Guard and New order, 1940-1944

Any discussion of Vichy France must begin with Robert O. Paxton's trail-blazing account of the period that the French would like to forget.

 

Robert O. Paxton’s classic study of the aftermath of France’s sudden collapse under Nazi invasion utilizes captured German archives and other contemporary materials to construct a strong and disturbing account of the Vichy period.
