One of the great specialists in the history of France in the 20th century, Julian Jackson, is the Alex Reed of Quotidien on Thursday January 18. After having enjoyed great success with his work “De Gaulle”, the 69-year-old British historian returns with “The Pétain Trial”. First of all, a look back at the trial of the man of collaboration which opened on July 23, 1945, while the archive images depict a man alone once morest everyone. Julian Jackson returns to the profile of one of Marshal Pétain’s lawyers, Jacques Isorni, who elevated the man at the heart of the controversy as a hero who notably saved Jews. The writer deciphers the political legacy that he left behind him even today, like Eric Zemmour’s recent positions. Then return to the historic handshake between Marshal Pétain and Hitler on October 20, 1940, a few days before he addressed the French on the radio. Finally, Julian Jackson tries to say more regarding the fact that Pétain was never tried for the deportation of the Jews.
