Sport and Physical Culture in Occupied France: Authoritarianism, Agency, and Everyday Life - Studies in Modern French and Francophone History
Keith Rathbone
Sport and physical culture in Occupied France is a scholarly and readable account of French sport during the Vichy regime. It explores two competing phenomena: the state’s promotion of physical culture to rehabilitate French people during the Occupation and athletes’ and sporting associations’ use of the state’s efforts to serve their own agendas. -- .
