On September 8, 1944, Maurras was arrested in Lyon during a press conference, at the instigation of the resistant and commissioner of the republic Yves Farge, close to the Communist Party.

[2] On January 27, 1945, the Lyon Court of Justice declares Charles Maurras guilty of high treason and intelligence with the enemy and condemns him to life imprisonment and national degradation.

The second part "L'Action française et l'autre war" discusses Maurras's warning in his book Kiel et Tanger in 1905, the sacred union of 1914 till armistice of 11 November 1918.

The sixth part "The "perfect agreement with the Marshal"" allows Maurras to attack more vigorously the strategies of influence of Marcel Déat and Pierre Laval within the Vichy regime.

[10] For the legal historian Catherine Fillon, the initial charge of intelligence with the enemy was not appropriate because it would have been better to "put Vichy on trial and show how the unwavering loyalty Maurras had shown to the place of politics and especially of the person of Marshal Pétain had ended up serving the German goals".
