Number 133 in Yale French Studies takes a new look at the themes in Nobel laureate Patrick Modiano's work This volume of Yale French Studies offers new perspectives on the work of the 2014 Nobel laureate in literature, Patrick Modiano. Including critical reassessments of themes that have informed, indeed haunted, Modiano's fiction from the outset, this collection of essays places the writer in a variety of new contexts. Topics include explorations of literary and cinematic traditions such as surrealism and film noir, situating Modiano's work among other literatures, the author's fascination with the dark years of the German Occupation, and his troubled relations with his parents.

The complete story of the remarkable canoe raid on German ships in Bordeaux Harbour – by the man who himself served in the Special Boat Squadron. In 1942, before El Alamein turned the tide of war, the German merchant fleet was re-supplying its war machine with impunity. So Operation Frankton, a daring and secret raid, was launched by Mountbatten’s Combined Operations and led by the enigmatic ‘Blondie’ Hasler – to paddle ‘Cockleshell’ canoes right into Bordeaux harbour and sink the ships at anchor. It was a desperately hazardous mission from the start – dropped by submarine to canoe some hundred miles up the Gironde into the heart of Vichy France, surviving terrifying tidal races, only to face the biggest challenge of all: escaping across the Pyrenees. Fewer than half the men made it to Bordeaux; only four laid their mines; just two got back alive. But the most damage was done to the Germans’ sense of impregnability. Paddy Ashdown, himself a member of the Royal Marines’ elite Special Boat Squadron formed as a consequence of Frankton, has always been fascinated by this classic story of bravery and ingenuity - as a young man even meeting his hero Hasler once. Now, after researching previously unseen archives and tracing surviving witnesses, he has written the definitive account of the raid. The real truth, he discovers – a deplorable tale of Whitehall rivalry and breakdowns in communication – serves only to make the achievements of the ‘Cockleshell’ heroes all the more heroic.

Adolf Hitler invaded Western Europe on 10 May 1940. After breaking through the supposedly ‘impenetrable’ Ardennes, Erwin Rommel was at the forefront of the Wehrmacht’s audacious drive through France. Rommel, who had no prior experience leading an armored division in combat, moved with such speed and nerve that he frequently surprised French units by arriving far earlier than expected. Crossing the Meuse River, we follow Rommel—in what he referred to as ‘practically a lightning Tour de France’—as he pushed through northern France to the English Channel. His spectacular victory at the coastal port of Saint-Valéry-en-Caux was crowned by the capture of Cherbourg. Following the armistice, Rommel was involved in reenacting certain battles, such as crossing the Somme, for the documentary Sieg im Westen (Victory in the West). This is the story of Rommel and the 7th Panzer Division—the so-called ‘Ghost Division’—in France, 1940.

Le récit de Français engagés dans la Waffen SS durant la Seconde guerre mondiale. Cet ouvrage captivant présente les récits inédits de Waffen SS français ayant lutté contre l’armée soviétique en 1944-1945. Dans la neige, le froid, contre des adversaires implacables nettement plus nombreux et mieux armés, ils ont été engagés dans des opérations souvent suicidaires, de véritables missions de sacrifice ultime. Chez beaucoup d’engagés français dans la Waffen SS, on retrouve la quête d’un « idéal » fasciste, porté par la camaraderie indestructible du front, la nostalgie fraternelle des tranchées, le culte de la force virile, la fascination pour l’univers militaire allemand, la haine du communisme et du capitalisme, le goût de l’aventure et de l’épopée guerrières, la volonté de restaurer l’héroïsme militaire français dans un cadre européen... Ils rêvent d’un ordre militaire nouveau, hérité de la chevalerie médiévale. Un ordre fondé sur la discipline, l’honneur, la fidélité, le sens du sacrifice, le mépris de la mort. Un ordre quasi religieux, où se retrouvent des catholiques traditionalistes et des païens convaincus. Tous ne sont pas antisémites, mais avant tout anticommunistes. Cet ouvrage ne se veut en aucun cas une réhabilitation déguisée de ces combattants d’une cause perdue. L’auteur se contente de relater le plus fidèlement possible leurs témoignages, tout en écartant toute forme d’apologie du nazisme. Découvrez l'histoire de ces Français qui ont choisi de suivre un idéal. Loin d'être une réhabilitation, l'ouvrage se veut être une analyse d'un mouvement de combattants qui aura marqué au fer rouge l'Histoire du XXe siècle. EXTRAIT Chez beaucoup d’engagés français dans la Waffen SS, on retrouve la quête d’un idéal fasciste, porté par la camaraderie indestructible du front, la nostalgie fraternelle des tranchées de 14-18, le culte de la force virile, la fascination pour l’univers militaire allemand, la haine du communisme et du capitalisme, le goût de l’aventure et de l’épopée guerrières, la volonté de restaurer l’héroïsme militaire français dans un cadre européen... Pour de nombreux Waffen SS français, il faut purger la France de ses ennemis, qui sont pour eux les responsables de la défaite de 1940, à savoir les francs-maçons, les communistes et les démocrates. Ils rêvent d’un ordre militaire nouveau, hérité de la chevalerie médiévale. Un ordre fondé sur la discipline, l’honneur, la fidélité, le sens du sacrifice, le mépris de la mort. Un ordre quasi religieux, où se retrouvent des catholiques traditionalistes et des païens convaincus. Les volontaires disent s’engager « contre le communisme, l’égoïsme bourgeois, l’individualisme, la franc-maçonnerie, la dissidence gaulliste, le capitalisme international ; pour la civilisation chrétienne, le paganisme européen, la hiérarchie, la discipline, la justice sociale, la solidarité, le corporatisme, l’unité et la pureté françaises ». Tous ne sont pas antisémites, mais avant tout anticommunistes. A PROPOS De L'AUTEUR Historien et écrivain, membre de l’Institut Jean Moulin, prix de la Légion d’Honneur, Dominique Lormier est l’un des meilleurs spécialistes de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
