About This Book
"In The Haunting Past, French historian Henry Rousso discusses the varied and controversial treatments of French collaboration with the Nazis during the Vichy regime, focusing specifically on the roles played by historians, and history itself, in the postwar trials of accused collaborators.
While discussion of Nazi collaboration was mostly suppressed in the years immediately following World War II, recent changes in public sentiment paved the way for formal trials of former Vichy officials charged with collaborating with Nazi Germany.
In a series of pointed interviews conducted by journalist Philippe Petit, Rousso considers events of the recent past, especially the emotionally charged Papon trial in France and the revelations that have come to light with the opening of communist archives."--BOOK JACKET.
