The Collaborator: The Trial and Execution of Robert Brasillach Paperback - 2001
by Alice Kaplan
The author of the acclaimed memoir "French Lessons" tells the story of Robert Brasillach's rise and fall: his emergence as a 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.
First line
In the last week of August 1944, Robert Brasillach was hiding in a tiny maid's room on the rue de Tournon.
From the jacket flap
"[O]ne of the best-written, most absorbing pieces of literary history in years."-David A. Bell, "New York Times Book Review"
On February 6, 1945, Robert Brasillach was executed for treason by a French firing squad. He was a prolific novelist and a keen literary critic; he was also a dedicated anti-Semite and editor of a fascist weekly newspaper. Was he in fact guilty of treason, or singled out as a suspected homosexual? Was it right that he was executed while others, some directly responsible for the murder of thousands, were set free? Kaplan's meticulous reconstruction of Brasillach's life and trial skirts none of the situation's ethical subtleties, and will stand as the definitive account of Brasillach's crime and punishment.
