Annie Lacroix-Riz is a French historian.[1]
Work
Her research interests are on the political, economic and social history of the French Third Republic and the Vichy Government,[2][3], the Catholic Church and Nazi Germany, as well as the "strategies of the French elites" before and after the Second World War.
In her early works, examining post-war reconstruction of France, Lacroix-Riz studied labor union tensions, investigating issues within the General Confederation of Labour union (French: Confédération Générale du Travail, CGT), the work of the communist minister of Labor and syndicalist Ambroise Croizat on social labor reforms, and American trade unionist and CIA spook Irving Brown’s involvement in the labor movement of France. Subsequent works by Lacroix-Riz probe American influence in Europe, as, for example in Sweden, and in the French colonies of North Africa, questioning the motives of the Marshall Plan.
One of her primary theses is that the profit-driven complicity of French industrial and financial institutions in the rise of Nazi Germany contributed to France's 1940 defeat,[4][5][6] paving ultimately the path to U.S ascendancy in Europe.
