«L'ordre du jour» is the historical account by Éric Vuillard, published by Actes Sud Editions in paperback (160 pages, in French).
Éric Vuillard reconstructs the secret pacts between Nazi leaders and major German industrialists that made the annexation of Austria in 1938 possible. Against the myth of the triumphant Wehrmacht, he reveals the political maneuvers and economic interests that paved the way for the Anschluss, including the traffic jam of its panzers.
The work won the 2017 Prix Goncourt and belongs to the «Un endroit où aller» collection (no. 278) from Actes Sud.
For those interested in the history of Nazism and the Second World War, as well as contemporary French fiction.
