Talbot Imlay, Professor of History, Departement des sciences
historiques, Universite Laval
Talbot Imlay teaches in the history department at the Universite
Laval in Quebec, Canada. He is the author of Facing the Second
World War: Strategy, Politics, and Economics in Britain and France
1938-1940 (2003) and co-editor with Monica Duffy Toft of Fog of
Peace and War Planning (2006). With Martin Horn he has just
finished a book entitled The Politics of Industrial Collaboration:
Ford France, Vichy and Nazi Germany during the Second World
War.
"This study -- supported by the author's extraordinary command of
the literature and primary materials, and his sharp and persistent
focus on key themes of socialism, internationalism, and
international politics -- concentrates on the British Labour Party
and the German and French socialist parties. Revival of
international contacts during this war, bitter divisions on the
Left in its aftermath, and the defection of many socialists to
communism led socialists to renew international commitment and
organization in the early 1920s. The account of this renewal is a
particularly significant contribution, as is the discussion of
socialist internationalism after 1945 and through the 1950s.
Remarkable throughout is the relevant documentation, especially
from volumes of correspondence archived in 12 countries...Highly
recommended."--CHOICE
