The third volume of Henri Amouroux's monumental history of the French during the Second World War.

June 1941 - June 1942: The height of collaboration

This essential work explores:

• The Montoire Meeting : The Pétain-Hitler Encounter and State Collaboration
• Pierre Laval and political collaboration : The return to power and the intensification of collaboration
• The collaborationist parties : Jacques Doriot (PPF), Marcel Déat (RNP) and the French fascist movements
• The Legion of French Volunteers : The French on the Eastern Front against the Soviet Union
• The French Waffen SS : Military involvement alongside the Third Reich
• Antisemitism and anti-Bolshevism : The ideologies of collaboration
• Anglophobia : Anti-British propaganda after Mers el-Kébir
• The Gestapo in France : German repression and police collaboration

Henri Amouroux deftly reveals the mechanisms of French collaboration in all its forms: political, intellectual, ideological, and military. This analysis is essential for understanding this dark period when some French citizens chose to serve the Third Reich, from June 21, 1941, to June 1942.
