Herbert Lottman (August 16, 1927, Brooklyn-August 27, 2014, Paris) was an American author who specialized in writing biographies on French subjects. An influential biographer, he published 17 biographies, 15 of which were related to French culture, commerce, or politics; including works on Albert Camus, Colette, Gustave Flaubert, Henri Philippe Pétain, Jules Verne, and the Rothschild banking family of France. He wrote that, just before dying, Albert Camus was pledged to marry. Camus's estate tried to block his book, partly because of this controversial statement. Lottman graduated from New York University in 1948 with degrees in English and biology. He won a Fulbright Scholarship which enabled him to pursue further studies in Paris. There he met and married his first wife Michele before returning to New York to attend graduate school at Columbia University; graduating with a Masters in English in 1951. In 1956 Lottman moved to Paris where he briefly attempted to pursue a career as a novelist. He ultimately settled on managing the Paris branch of the publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux, writing freelance articles for magazines, and working as a biographer, publishing his first book, Detours From the Grand Tour, in 1970. He also worked for Publishers Weekly as a writer for four decades. This work is about the purification of French collaborators after World War II. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Lottman, an American who lives in France (and is PW's international correspondent) has in his past three books, including this one, been creating a major work of French history: examining the state of the country just before, during, and immediately after World War II. This is difficult ground for a French historian, and Lottman's objectivity, patient research and plain lack of axes to grind, suit him ideally to the task. The present book, following The Left Bank and Petain, deals with the trials and punishment of French collaborators with both the Nazis and the Vichy regime, in the wake of the 1944 Liberation. Legends have grown up about lynch law, hasty and unjust executions, thousands of lives ruined as vengeful Resistance fighters and returning Free French turned on those who had been too friendly to the occupying forces. The reality, as Lottman shows in painstaking detail, was that organized justice was surprisingly swift in returning to France, that French jailings and executions were fewer, comparatively, than in some neighboring countries, and that eventual amnesties as wartime tempers cooled brought many of those condemned to indignite nationale back into French life. The Purge is a thorough, careful historical record rather than an easy, dramatic read; but it was clearly a difficult task that has been accomplished with great care.
