Résumé anglais The French Communist Party during the ordeal of the dark years, Jean-Pierre Azéma. Recent French publications and yet unpublished communications to a colloquium held in Paris in October 1983 indicate the progress in research on a particularly difflcult and still very contentious period in the history of the French Communist Party : that which started after Munich (1938) and ended with the laun-ching of the National Front (1941). The Party's geography and membership are better known. When it was hit by the war, the Party was losing momentum, but in the autumn of 1941, with 10 to 12,000 devoted militants, it was still the main organized force. The value of its cadres and the strength of its social roots can be perceived better. But divergent interpretations of its strategic line (whether dictated by the Komintern, or continually responsive to the theme of national independence) do not yet make it possible to give a clear answers to the central questions : when, why and how did the French Communist Party join the Resistance ?
