Description: New book, 518 pages. This book tells the story of one of history's most despicable villains and conmen - Louis Darquier, Nazi collaborator and 'Commissioner for Jewish Affairs', who dissembled his way to power in the Vichy government and was responsible for sending thousands of children to the gas chambers. After the war he left France, never to be brought to justice. Epic, haunting, the product of extraordinary research, this is a study in powerlessness, hatred and the role of remembrance.
