Description - The Vichy Syndrome by Henry Rousso
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 années noires. Specifically, he studies what the French have chosen to remember-and to conceal.
