In 'The Purge', Herbert Lottman examines the sensitive issue of the purge suffered by French collaborators with the Nazi regime during World War II. With a fluid narrative and exhaustive documentation, Lottman analyzes the judicial and political process that took place in France from 1944 to 1953, revealing the complexities and controversies of this historical period. The book offers a deep insight into the popular revenge and the search for justice in post-war France.
Herbert Roger Lottman was an American author who specialized in writing biographies on French subjects. An influential biographer, he published 17 biographies, 15 of which were related to French culture, commerce, or politics; including works on Albert Camus, Colette, Gustave Flaubert, Henri Philippe Pétain, Jules Verne, and the Rothschild banking family of France. He wrote that, just before dying, Albert Camus was pledged to marry. Camus's estate tried to block his book, partly because of this controversial statement.
