Orphans of the Republic - The Nations Legislators in Vichy France

Informationen zum Autor Olivier Wieviorka is Professor of History at the École Normale Supérieure de Cachan. Zusammenfassung On July 10, 1940, by a 570 to 80 margin, the representatives in the French parliament voted full powers to Philippe Pétain, ending the Third Republic and paving the way for the Vichy regime. Recreating the tense atmosphere of summer 1940, Olivier Wieviorka shows how pressures brought on by defeat could affect even the most hardened republicans.
