Sport and physical culture in Occupied France is a scholarly and readable account of French sport during the Vichy regime. It explores two competing phenomena: the state’s promotion of physical culture to rehabilitate French people during the Occupation and athletes’ and sporting associations’ use of the state’s efforts to serve their own agendas.
