Les Années Noires: France on Trial, 1940-44

The years 1940-1944 encompass the most dramatic and traumatic episode in modern French history. Their story is classically told in sequential terms of defeat, occupation, collaboration, resistance, and liberation. The narrative is credible but I would like us to consider whether it is entirely convincing. How else might this story be told and what to be gained by reinventing it?
