The SURCOUF submarine met disaster on the night of Feb. 18, 1942. As a result, 130 people died. At the time, it was the worst submarine disaster ever. But decades later, people continue to argue about what happened to the mammoth submarine, which belonged to the free French. Written by Capt. Julius Grigore Jr., the foremost expert on the disaster, this scholarly work examines • details about how $245 million in gold may have played a role in the disaster; • questions about a possible double agent who may have plotted to block the Panama Canal and blow up SURCOUF; • events that led President Roosevelt to threaten to deploy a battleship against SURCOUF; • roles that women played before and after the disaster. Learn the real story behind one of the most misunderstood submarine disasters in history. Written for history buffs, servicemen and servicewomen, and anyone interested in a good mystery, The SURCOUF Conspiracy examines one of the strangest submarine stories of all time.

The Nazi regime in Germany was terrible enough without even accounting for the policy of collaboration. So what extra does collaboration say about Hitler and his plans for Europe? Peter Davies explores the mindset and political attitudes of Hitler and also many other controversial pro-Nazi leaders in Western Europe, Scandanavia, Central and Eastern Europe, and also beyond. Delving into four different "types" of collaboration: political, financial, the Holocaust, and collaboration at a social level, he asks some difficult questions. The story of collaboration is brought up to date, assessing both the legacy and its contemporary parallels.

A study of the world-view of the wartime collaborator. Collaboration with coercive power is generally viewed as a supreme example of cynical betrayal. And yet the collaborator can make a claim to virtue in being governed by concern for others: not wanting to risk the security and well-being of family and community by seeking freedom at all costs. Gilliatt (political science, U. of Northumbria) focuses less on the reasons behind the use of coercion and more on interpretation and acceptance by those who attempt to adapt and cope with it.
