The collaborator

the trial & execution of Robert Brasillach

Edición de la obra The collaborator

"On February 6, 1945, a thirty-five-year-old French writer and newspaper editor named Robert Brasillach was executed for treason by a French firing squad. He was the only writer of any distinction to be put to death by the French Liberation government during the violent days of score-settling known as the Purge. In this book, Alice Kaplan tells the story of Brasillach's rise and fall: his emergence as the golden boy of literary fascism during the 1930s, his wartime collaboration with the Nazis, his dramatic trial, and his afterlife as a martyr for French rightists and Holocaust revisionists."--BOOK JACKET.
