This is a facsimile reprinting of a work published in 2000 by the University of Chicago Press. Book design by Daniel B Bianchi and Selma Ordewer. From the introduction: ''Should a literary collaborator with the worst of evils be punished? Executed? Martyred? These are the questions raised by the remarkable case of Robert Brasillach who was executed by the de Gaulle 'government' following the liberation of Paris in 1944. Brasillach was one of France's most respected young writers during the years leading up to World War II. He was also a pro-German supporter of Hitler. During the war, he edited a newspaper that glorified Nazism and supported the Occupation. Brasillach never killed anyone with his own hands, but his pen may have contributed to the death of many. He 'denounced' numerous innocent people, which in some cases was a seal of death.''
