A Double TreacheryIn this spy thriller set in the years of 1939, 1940, John Hefford reveals how the French High command, backed up by a secret society (La Cagoule - funded by the French extreme right wing ruling classes), premeditated the defeat of the French army in order to provoke an armistice with Hitler. In this way the fascist Vichy gevernment headed by Marshall Pétain was formed, which the ruling classes wanted to protect them against Bolshevism. The Pétain Plot : This romantic thriller explains how the treacherous plot was probably carried out, giving noted references to ample circumstancial and corrobarative evidence. Documentary evidence is now rare due to the forced censorship of the plot by Président de Gaulle after the Libération, but some French académic historians are still writing books on the subject as time makes new revelations. | The Pétain Plot by John Hefford, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
