«La France des vaincus passe à la barre» is the historical essay by Emmanuel Pierrat, published by First Editions in hardback (400 pages, in French).
The book reconstructs the judicial purge in France between 1943 and 1953: how punishing those who collaborated with Nazi Germany divided the country between forgiveness and punitive justice. With the trials of Pétain and Laval, summary executions, shaved women, amnesty laws and figures such as Brasillach or Louis Renault, Pierrat portrays that decade.
The book was published on 12 April 2018 with the subtitle «Une histoire judiciaire de l'épuration en France, 1943-1953».
For readers of French history, World War II and the processes of political purge in postwar Europe.
