"Adam Nossiter has given us a disturbing and riveting portrait of the afterlife of Nazi collaboration in France. His book is a Sorrow and the Pity for today – a central reading for anyone interested in war and memory." –Alice Kaplan, author of The Collaborator: The Trial & Execution of Robert Brasillach
"An unsettling story...that throws into high relief how France coexists today with its wartime past as seen through the prisms of place: Bordeauz, Vichy, and Tulle. Silence has fueled preoccupation, Nossiter finds, when it comes to the French reckoning of their behavior during WW II. Those long-ago events continue to stir up deep passions, in what amounts to a kind of national auto-interrogation – a process that is halting, distorted, and incomplete...A rattling congeries of the ghosts – from collaboration to collusion to compromise – that continue to bedevil France." –Kirkus Reviews
