Reviews
'Julian Jackson has now gone a long way to illuminating for an English readership what the French call "the dark years".'John Crossland, The Sunday Times, In a single volume, written forcibly and clearly, he has survey the whole subject,from the pre-war years to the goivernemnt of Vichy, the Occupation, the Resistance and Liberation'. Douglas Johnson, TLS, Jackson devotes a significant part of his study to the period before 1940, and he is particularly strong on the importance of the intellectual climate in France in the 1930s; his discussion of the years of occupation is sufficiently detailed to do justice to varieties of both individual and collective experience, and to enhance our understanding of the choices made as a result of that experience. If, as will surely be the case, this book becomes the standard secondary work for undergraduate courses on France during the second world war, then we can look forward confidently to the way the period will be addressed by the historians of the future., 'wide-ranging ... The story is regularly enriched by nuggets of unexpected information.'Patrick Marnham, Spectator, 7 July 2001, This book bears impressive testimony to the depth of France's postwar conversation with itself about what it endured during the war., 'a powerful contribution to the historiography...it also a pleasurable read: judicious, well crafted, always with an eye for the telling quotation or anecdote.'Robert Gildea, Reviews in History, 'In a sense it is all in this book, which will become the standard manual for students and teachers alike.'Robert Gildea, Reviews in History, 'Jackson does this with his usual good judgement, framing the book with the debates of historians at the beginning and the construction of collective memories at the end. His conclusion, wisely if tentatively, is that 'the French past must be faced in all its contradictions and complexity.'Robert Gildea, Reviews in History, 'wide-ranging ... The story is regularly enriched by nuggets of unexpectedinformation.'Patrick Marnham, Spectator, 7 July 2001, "Jackson has synthesized a wealth of secondary works in an account that is thorough, thoughtful, lucid, and awesomely commodious."--Eugen Weber, The Atlantic Monthly"This book is an exhaustive synthesis of scholarly research, memoirs and diaries...What makes Jackson's account particularly useful is that it traces both the prewar roots of wartime developments and the postwar reverberations--the trials, purges, films and novels. Vichy and the resistance thus emerge clearly as part of the longer run of French history...This book bears impressive testimony to the depth of France's postwar conversation with itself about what it endured during the war,"--The New York Times Book Review"This insightful, thoroughly researched book will be of interest to scholars and general readers, who will come away with a profound understanding of a crucial time in French history"--Publishers Weekly"In the most complete and careful history to date of occupied France, Jackson unflinchingly explores the complexities and moral ambiguities of his subject."--The Atlantic Monthly, Jackson has recounted a national anti-epic, and thereby placed himself in the front rank of historians., The Times non-fiction round up Books of the Year 2001 by Iain FinlaysonSunday Times Christmas (the year?) round-upIn a single volume, written forcibly and clearly, he has survey the whole subject,from the pre-war years to the goivernemnt of Vichy, the Occupation, the Resistance and Liberation'.

The story is regularly enriched by nuggets of unexpected information.'Patrick Marnham, Spectator, 7 July 2001'there will probably never be a more thorough and detailed account of what happened to France and the French during the Nazi occupation between 1940 and 1944 ... By its end the reader has the clearest possible picture not just of those dark years, but of the forces at work in French society and politics in the years leading up to them, and of the aftermath once liberation was achieved ... This is a brilliant book, but for anyone cherishing ideals of Frenchheroism, it will prove a painful one.'Simon Heffer, Country Life, 12 July 2001'Julian Jackson ... has managed to tease the complexities of the occupation into a story that is both ingenious and convincing ... This book consciously eschews the shock tactics so often adopted by Anglo-Saxon historians who write about Vichy ... Mr Jackson's work is careful and sober ... He is particularly good at evoking the dangerous glamour of that small group who dominated artistic and intellectual life in occupied Paris.'Economist (UK), 13 July 2001'The story of France in 1940-44 has been told countless times, but never before in English in such full and fascinating detail ... lucid and lively.'John Ardagh, Yorkshire Post, 14 June 2001'the definitive study of the Occupation years and should be in every French history collection' Library Journal (USA)'Jackson thoroughly dissects the multilayed complexities of a nation at war with itself and shows how, in the final analysis, it was the persevering spirit of the average French citizen that prevailed during those 'dark years.' Jackson's reputation for meticulous scholarship is quite evident in this latest work, which supplants JP Azema's From Munich to Liberation (Cambridge UP) as the definitive study on the Occupation.'Library Journal (USA) 07/01'easy to read ... the supporting details and quotations are well chosen and interesting.'David Pryce-Jones, Literary Review, Jackson's study is a monumental achievement and anybody who wants to get to grips with the period should start here., "Jackson has synthesized a wealth of secondary works in an account that is thorough, thoughtful, lucid, and awesomely commodious."--Eugen Weber, The Atlantic Monthly "This book is an exhaustive synthesis of scholarly research, memoirs and diaries...What makes Jackson's account particularly useful is that it traces both the prewar roots of wartime developments and the postwar reverberations--the trials, purges, films and novels.

This is a brilliant book, but for anyone cherishing ideals of French heroism, it will prove a painful one., Jackson traces the history of these shifting views and puts them into their postwar context with admirable patience and clarity.
