Bad Faith by Carmen Callil
Tells the story of one of history's most despicable villains and conmen - Louis Darquier 'de Pellepoix', Nazi collaborator and 'Commissioner for Jewish Affairs', who managed the Vichy government's dirty work, 'controlling' its Jewish population. This is a study of powerlessness, hatred and the role of remembrance.
"'A hugely accomplished and confident book.. Along with Todorov's A French Tragedy, it is probably the most interesting book I've read on Vichy...' Michael Burleigh, author of The Third Reich"
