Between Resistance and Collabration: Popular Protest in Northern France 1940-45

by L. Taylor

Overview

Between Resistance and Collaboration is a study of the impact of the changes to the structure of authority and economy brought upon the population of northern France by the Nazi occupation. The book explores the various means by which the local population both protested hardships, forcing the authorities to do something about them, and evaded the plethora of political and economic regulations when the authorities were unable and unwilling to act.
