The Good Old Days of the Collaborators - Book 3 by Henri Amouroux

THE GOOD DAYS OF THE COLLABORATORS

1941. Pétain promised collaboration. Some French people saw it as an opportunity. Others, as a betrayal.

Who were the collaborators really? Opportunists, ideologues, cowards — or men who sincerely believed they were saving France? Henri Amouroux delves behind the scenes of a regime sinking deeper, and paints an unvarnished portrait of those who chose the wrong side.

The third volume of The Great History of the French under Occupation, this book is essential to understand the mechanisms of collaboration — and why so many French people let it happen.

The Good Days of the Collaborators is the third volume in Henri Amouroux’s series.
