Resistance in German-occupied Europe is generally understood as
insurrectional violence. However, as soon as the war broke out,
thousands of people engaged in civil disobedience---manifested
through strikes, demonstrations, and the activities of medical
organizations, courts of law, and churches. Jacques Semelin gathers
evidence for the untold story of a movement that took place in
France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark as well as
Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Germany itself. A widespread
campaign contested authority and paved the way for later armed
resistance and the eventual defeat of the Nazis. This study goes
beyond historical interest. It is ethical in scope and deals with
civilian strategy at large. To what extent is society prepared to
face aggression, whether external or internal? As such, it is of
value not only to military historians and other students of World
War II, but it provides thoughtful approaches for political
scientists and others concerned with contemporary issues of
violence and civil disobedience.
