Sisley Huddleston (28 May 1883 – 14 July 1952) was a British journalist and writer.

Life

After editing a British forces newspaper in the First World War, he was resident in Paris after the war until the 1930s, writing for The Times (London) and the Christian Science Monitor. In his Europe in Zigzags (1929) he supported the Pan-Europe manifesto of Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi. War Unless (1933) was a "deliberately alarmist" call for revision of the Treaty of Versailles. During the Second World War, he was in Vichy France, taking French citizenship and writing in sympathy with the regime. He interviewed Marshal Philippe Pétain. He was arrested in October 1944 by French authorities on treason charges. He was imprisoned by the Free French, in 1944 as a Vichy collaborator. He wrote a number of works that were critical in particular of the Allied handling of the Liberation of France and politicians' diplomacy.
