Éliane Brault's book tells a remarkable story. Its audience includes not just scholars and university students, but everyone fascinated by the drama of the German invasion and occupation of France in World War II. For the first time, it is now available in English translation.
This account of 1940 draws on Brault's extensive network of fellow journalists and social activists. The exceptionally well-informed author highlights the role played by defeatists and collaborators in the Fall of France and the creation of the Vichy Regime. She also details the unsung bravery of the French in the face of national calamity, one worsened by the internal divisions and venality of the Germans during the occupation.
Brault's vibrant writing is rendered here with sensitivity. This Anglophone edition retains the originality of Brault's style, a unique hybrid of newspaper reporting, critical commentary, and personal reflection. Her book now joins the classic accounts in English of the same events by the historian Marc Bloch, the novelist Irène Némirovsky, and the literary critic Jean Guéhenno, however different the genres of writing they explored. Simply put, Brault's work richly deserves to be every bit as well-known as theirs.
