About The Book

In post-liberation France the French courts judged the cases of more than one hundred thousand people accused of aiding and abetting the enemy during the Second World War. In this fascinating book Sandra Ott uncovers the hidden history of collaboration in the Pyrenean borderlands of the Basques and the Barnais in southwestern France through nine stories of human folly uncertainty ambiguity ambivalence desire vengeance duplicity greed self-interest opportunism and betrayal. Covering both the occupation and liberation periods she reveals how the book''s characters became involved with the occupiers for a variety of reasons ranging from a desire to settle scores and to gain access to power money and material rewards to love friendship fear and desperation. These wartime lives and subsequent postwar reckonings provide us with a new lens through which to understand human behavior under the difficult conditions of occupation and the subsequent search for retribution and justice.
