In post-liberation France, the French courts judged the cases of
more than one hundred thousand people accused of aiding and
abetting the enemy during the Second World War. In this fascinating
book, Sandra Ott uncovers the hidden history of collaboration in
the Pyrenean borderlands of the Basques and the Bearnais in
southwestern France through nine stories of human folly,
uncertainty, ambiguity, ambivalence, desire, vengeance, duplicity,
greed, self-interest, opportunism and betrayal. Covering both the
occupation and liberation periods, she reveals how the book's
characters became involved with the occupiers for a variety of
reasons, ranging from a desire to settle scores and to gain access
to power, money and material rewards, to love, friendship, fear and
desperation. These wartime lives and subsequent postwar reckonings
provide us with a new lens through which to understand human
behavior under the difficult conditions of occupation, and the
subsequent search for retribution and justice.
