The author discusses World War II in France, in particular the conflict between Resistance fighters and members of the French "Milice," a military organization set up by the Vichy regime in 1943. The ensuing civil war is represented in the works of such authors as Jean Genet, Jacques Perret, and Jean-Paul Sartre. Published from 1945-51, these texts have generated controversy because they portray the miliciens as dedicated French soldiers who happened to be on the "wrong" side of the war. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
