内容説明
Secret agents, gun runners, White Russians, adventurers, and conmen - they all play a part in this study of interwar France. Based on research in security files and printed sources, this book shows how a distinctive milieu of spies and spy literature emerged between the two World Wars, reflecting the atmosphere and concerns of those years. Miller argues that French fascination with intrigue between the wars reveals a far more assured and playful national mood than historians have hitherto discerned in the final decades of the Third Republic. But the larger history set in motion by World War I and the subsequent reading of French history into global history are the true subjects of this work. Reconstituting through his own narratives the histories of interwar travel and adventure and the willful turning of contemporary affairs into a source of romance, Miller recovers the ambiance and special qualities of the age that produced its intrigues and its tales of spies.
