Description: "In Vichy's Afterlife, Richard J. Golsan explores the complexities of some of the most provocative episodes of Vichy's curious persistence in France's national consciousness. He argues that each of these episodes, events, and scandals constitutes a crossroads where history and "counterhistory" - different or competing versions of the past - encounter one another, often with explosive and even destructive consequences."--BOOK JACKET.
