This volume about the Vichy years and the German Occupation of
1940-1944 uses as a starting point Robert Paxton's Vichy France:
Old Guard and New Order, which provided a meticulously documented
portrait of a nation consumed by indecision and self-doubt. The
essays by the foremost scholars in the field place the Occupation
of France in the context of other episodes in French history, and
in the context of other occupied countries during World War II.
They consider communities of belief during the Vichy years, examine
how the experience of war and occupation shaped the everyday lives
of people, and look at the ongoing reconstruction of the memory of
the Vichy years.
This collection of essays takes up where Paxton left off and shows
how the last twenty-five years of scholarship have made problematic
the tidy categories used to describe behaviour during the Vichy
years. The authors point to new directions in the field and address
both the myth of the 'nation of forty million resisters' that
Paxton demolished and the creation of a new myth -- that the French
have failed or refused to confront their past.
