This article focuses on two books — "The German Fifth Column in World War II," by Louis de Jong and "Return to Power," by Alistair Horne. These two new books throw light, albeit murkily, on the possible shape of answers. Louis de Jong, author of "Holland Fights the Nazis," broadcaster in exile and now executive director of the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation, undertook a study for UNESCO five years ago of the German "fifth column" in World War II. He now sees that his original judgment was wrong and that he, among others, was the victim of a myth, fraught with paralyzing fear.
