Living with the Enemy

Beschreibung

This is a compelling study of human folly, vengeance, opportunism and betrayal during the German occupation of the French Basque Country and Bearn. Based on extensive fieldwork and a close reading of trial dossiers, Ott focuses on ordinary people who formed relationships with Germans during 1940-4 and were later accused of 'collaboration'.
