Isorni first gained notoriety in France following World War II when he unsuccessfully defended collaborationist Marshal Henri Philippe Pétain, leader of Vichy France during the Nazi occupation, against charges of treason. In The True Trial of Jesus, Isorni set out to prove the innocence of the Jewish people. Isorni's thesis is similar to that of Jewish Historian Haim Cohn, author of The Trial and Death of Jesus, and Anglican Scholar S.G.F. Brandon, who wrote The Trial of Jesus of Nazareth. They argue that Jesus was condemned to die not because a Jewish tribunal objected...
...apparently crossed the Bay of Biscay to the He d'Yeu by auto ferry-had spirited away the coffin containing the body of Marshal Philippe Petain, who was revered by Frenchmen for stopping the Germans at Verdun during World War I and later reviled for heading the collaborationist Vichy government during World...
PAPADOPOULOS has been a desk man all his life, had been with an organization during the German occupation that was collaborationist with the SS, but this is of mild interest.

In Jesus and the Zealots (Scnbners; $7.95) and The Trial of Jesus of Nazareth (Stein & Day; $6.95), Brandon pictures Jesus as a politically aware activist vigorously working against the Palestinian "Establishment"-the Roman occupying forces and Jerusalem's collaborationist Jewish aristocracy.

The raid, disguised in the Gospels as a one-man assault on the profane money changers, quickly led to Jesus...
...origins in the chaotic conditions that prevailed in France after World War II. In 1949, Jean Prouvost, a press baron (Paris-Match, Paris-Soir) as well as France's largest woolens manufacturer, purchased a controlling interest in Figaro. But because he had served briefly in the collaborationist Vichy regime, both Gaullists and leftists opposed letting him assume editorial command. So he signed an agreement with Figaro's noted editor, Pierre Brisson, who had killed off the paper during World War II rather than knuckle under to the Nazis. The agreement gave Brisson and his colleagues complete freedom...
