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. \u003cbr\u003eA great work of reconstruction, \"Marianne in Chains\" provides a clear view, unobscured by romance or polemics, of the painful ambiguities of living under tyranny.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Metropolitan Books","offers":[{"title":"Marianne in Chains: Everyday Life in the French Heartland Under the German Occupation | Robert Gildea | Book | 9780805071689 | Used: Very Good | European History 1402576","offer_id":48864244007064,"sku":"1402576","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/51J8kR5RvsL.jpg?v=1775848614","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/marianne-in-chains-everyday-life-in-the-french-heartland-under-the-german-occupation","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
