Doctor to the Resistance (Paperback, New edition)

The true heroic story of an American Surgeon and his family in Occupied Paris. Dr. Sumner "Jack" Jackson joined the British Army as a volunteer physician during World War I. After the Battle of the Somme, he married a French Red Cross nurse.

During World War II, Jackson, his wife and their teenage son joined the French Resistance. They hid and treated wounded Allied flyers and Resistance fighters, used the hospital as a cover for Resistance activities and helped smuggle plans for the V-1 rocket to England. Just before the liberation of Paris, the family was betrayed to the Gestapo and deported to German concentration camps. The day before the war ended, tragedy struck...This book features include: Thrills with as much drama and suspense as any novel of film! Contains gripping photographs of a heroic family, one of the allies they rescued, and the Gestapo officers they fought; and a hardback edition published in November 2004.
