Traces the experiences of three small French towns during the troubled months of the Provisional Government following the Liberation in 1944. This study reveals how citizens of these towns expected legal, social, and honorary justice - such as punishment for collaborators, and fair food distribution.

Trade Review
“An original study of an important and understudied topic. The Expectation of Justice is the result of exemplary research and brings to life the hopes and frustrations of an incredibly significant, fascinating, and wrenching period of French history.”—John Merriman, author of A History of Modern Europe: From the Renaissance to the Present
“This engaging, lively, and thoughtful analysis of the post-Liberation period in France fills a glaring gap in the relevant historiography by focusing on that forgotten period between World War II and the Fourth Republic.”— Nancy L. Green, author of Ready-To-Wear and Ready-to-Work: A Century of Industry and Immigrants in Paris and New York
