Product Description:
Bad Faith
Review:
"A superb exploration of the fractured mind of French anti-Semitism" (Simon Heffer Literary Review)
"The story she has uncovered is so strange and powerful that it would be an unusual reader who was not profoundly moved" (Kathryn Hughes Mail on Sunday)
"A work of phenomenally thorough, generous and humane scholarship....Callil understands anguish, and lays bare its causes with clarity and precision. Bad Faith exemplifies what Primo Levi called the 'continuous intellectual and moral effort' that is the only adequate response to the events described here" (Hilary Spurling Daily Telegraph)
"Bad Faith is a book of passion and anger which, nonetheless, manages to keep it's head as a significant work of history" (Mark Bostridge Independent on Sunday)
"We cannot know what Anne Darquier would have thought of Callil's book, but my guess is that she would have been as moved, astonished and impressed as any other reader" (Ruth Scurr The Times)
