Bridges an obvious gap in the market of Anglophone academic literature as it provides a multidisciplinary and transnational perspective on the subject of treason, betrayal and collaboration

Focuses not on historical underpinnings, but rather on mnemonic transformations of the “facts” of betrayal and collaboration

Suggests an updated scholarly perspective that incorporates theoretical suggestions of memory studies, anthropology and cultural studies
