Německá okupace za druhé světové války vystavila politiky, úředníky i podnikatele okupovaných západoevropských zemí těžké zkoušce. Měli okupantům vzdorovat, nebo s nimi spolupracovat? Nebo měli raději ze svých funkcí odejít, aby se nepošpinili kolaborací? A jak takovou spolupráci vnímali občané okupovaných zemí? Těmito otázkami a mnoha problémy, které s nimi souvisely, se zabývá tato kniha Philipa Morgana.
Focussing on Western and Northern countries in Hitler's Europe, Philip Morgan illustrates and assesses the captivating history of collaboration with the German occupier during the Second World War. It ranges from the appeasing and accommodating attitudes during the early phase of Nazi-occupation to the ambivalent role of state officials and businessmen, and finally, discusses the deplorable collusion and complicity in the deportation of Jews. Far from moralizing, Morgan's meticulous study explains the realities and reasons as well as the consequences of this equally diverse and disturbing phenomenon.

This book charts the evolution of Italian Fascism from its inconspicuous beginnings as an anti-party movement in 1919 to its equally inauspicious ending as a Nazi German satellite in 1945. It shows how and why Fascism came to power in 1922 as a mass movement of middle class reaction against socialism and parliamentary liberal policies in a period of serious postwar political and social crisis, and how the attempt to implant a totalitarian new order culminated in a Fascist war which exposed the pretensions and inadequacies of 'fascistization' and dissolved the Fascist consensus.
