'A concise and distinguished book' Andrew Roberts.

In July 1945, France's disgraced former head of state was on trial. As head of the Vichy regime, Philippe Pétain was a lightning rod for collective guilt and retribution. But he has also been a conservative icon ever since. Julian Jackson blends courtroom drama and brilliant narrative history to examine one of history's great moral dilemmas.

In Paris in 1954, Andre Baudry founded Arcadie, an organization for 'homophiles'. Yet despite its huge importance, Arcadie has largely disappeared from the historical record. This title uncovers Arcadie's pioneering efforts to educate the European public about homosexuality in an era of renewed repression.

The poor performance of the French economy in the 1930s has long been recognised as a major contributory factor in the decline of the Third Republic. This is the first full study of the formation of economic policy in these crucial years, and of the political debate to which it gave rise.
