There were only the good French who resisted and the bad French who collaborated. \u003ci\u003eMarianne in Chains\u003c\/i\u003e, a broad and provocative history, uncovers a rather different story, one in which the truth is more complex and humane. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on previously unseen archives, firsthand interviews, diaries, and eyewitness accounts, Robert Gildea reveals everyday life in the heart of occupied France. He describes the pressing imperatives of work, food, transportation, and family obligations that led to unavoidable compromise and negotiation with the army of occupation. In the process, he sheds light on such subjects as forced labor, the role of the Catholic Church, the horizontal collaboration between French women and German soldiers, and, most surprisingly, the ambivalent attitude of ordinary people toward the Resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA great work of reconstruction, \u003ci\u003eMarianne in Chains\u003c\/i\u003e provides a clear view, unobscured by romance or polemics, of the painful ambiguities of living under tyranny.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Gildea\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor of modern French history at the University of Oxford.
