From the Back Cover This volume examines the renewal of interest in, and extensive reevaluation of, the wartime occupation of France by the Nazis. . The subsequent undermining of this 'myth' is discussed through a survey of the works of prominent writers and through more detailed studies of some of the younger of these writers, showing how, in the effort to escape a problematic heritage, new myths are created. The author places the phenomenon in its literary and historical context, revealing how, until 1970, a collective and predominantly Gaullist 'myth' of the resistance was able to establish itself in France
In this comprehensive book, Alan Morris examines the French preoccupation with la mode rétro, the renewal of interest in, and re-evaluation of, the Nazi occupation of France.
