The Algeria Hotel

Drawn from his odyssey through France where he talked with people and revisited historical events, the author presents a narrative about France's true involvement in World War II and how the French live with the dark secrets of the war even today.
The Algeria Hotel in Vichy was the site of the Gestapo headquarters in World War 2. This book searches for the ghosts of modern France, from collaboration to collusion to compromise, with a resonant story about how we remember and why we forget.
