Title: Crime apologists
Product review: 'The Statement' is not a simple suspense novel. The reality of French war crime apologists is the backdrop of this sad tale. The book details the incredible post Second World War popular French policies of supporting and excusing French war criminals. The book follows one such murderer as he moves, in the 1980s, from one monastery to the next, avoiding capture with the help of church officials and right wing people, in and out of the government. This dark tale is more of an historical and moral tale than a cloak and dagger mystery. If you are interested in the subject, Susan Zuccotti's The Holocaust, the French, and the Jews, and Michael Marrus, and Robert O. Paxton's Vichy France and the Jews are great sources of what happened to the Jews when France became a vassal state of Nazi Germany.
