Publisher Description In this monumental new account of the Vichy years, Julian Jackson examines French experiences of Occupation during the Black Years of 1940-4. Pulling together previously separate histories of occupation, resistance, and collaboration he presents a definitive history of the period. This is a more complex history than the traditional dichotomy between collaboration and resistance, one in which the ideological frontiers between Vichy and the Resistance wereoften blurred. This study ranges from the politics of Marshal Pétains regime to the experiences of the ordinary French people, from surrender in 1940 to the purges of liberation. The author restoresthe organized Resistance to a more central role than has been customary in recent years and presents a new social history of the resistance which takes in the roles of foreigners, women, Jews, and peasants. He uncovers the long term roots of the Vichy regime in political and social conflict and cultural crisis stretching back to the Great War and concludes by tracing the lasting legacy and memory of Occupation since 1945. Author Biography Julian Jackson is a Professor of History at the University of Wales, Swansea.
