 Greenwood Publishing Group : Darlan
Admiral Jean François Darlan's Western legacy is that of an opportunist, a fascist collaborator, or, at worst, a traitor during France's struggle for survival in the early years of World War II.
Moreover, the author has sought to question received perceptions of Darlan's record during the Occupation in order to present the significantly persuading evidence he has uncovered.
In his introduction, Professor Melton states that "[I]t is now possible to view Darlan in fresh perspective and assess his career with better balance and objectivity...Melton has laudably achieved that goal and consequently has drawn a fresh image of Darlan from the shadow of both the collaborationists and Charles de Gualle —European Studies Journal

Admiral Jean Francois Darlan's Western legacy is that of an opportunist, a fascist collaborator, or, at worst, a traitor during France's struggle for survival in the early years of World War II.
With a career beginning during the height of France's imperial power and lasting until the nation's rapid wartime decline, Darlan was a pragmatic statesman, a guardian of naval preparedness, a stout opponent of fascism, an earnest patron of the Anglo-French Alliance, and an advocate of combined naval power in the Mediterranean.
He defended French naval and colonial interests against all foreign powers before and during the war, and his success in this area eventually resulted in his assassination.
