John F. Sweets

John F. Sweets

John F. Sweets is an American historian of modern French history specializing in the Vichy France era, the French Resistance, and occupied France. Sweets earned his Ph.D. from Duke University in 1972 and has taught at the University of Kansas since that year.

Sweets is best known for his book "Choices in Vichy France", which explores popular French attitudes towards the Vichy government, the French Resistance and the German occupation during World War II. Sweets' work argues that, "the vast majority of French were far from collaborationist."

His earlier work, "The Politics of Resistance in France, 1940-1944," was the "first account in English of the political evolution within the Resistance that enabled it to overcome internal strife" and form an effective underground movement.
