A gripping and insightful history of the French Resistance and the
men and women who opposed Nazi occupation during World War II Based
on personal stories, eyewitness accounts, and archival material,
this vivid history goes behind the tales of derring-do and explains
the forces that shaped the fight against the Nazis, providing a
deeper explanation of events. The French resistance to Nazi
occupation during World War II was a struggle in which ordinary
people fought for their liberty, despite terrible odds and
horrifying repression. Hundreds of thousands of Frenchmen and women
carried out an armed struggle against the Nazis, producing
underground anti-fascist publications and supplying the Allies with
vital intelligence. With major themes of courage, self-sacrifice,
betrayal, and struggle, this book shatters the illusion of a
unified Resistance created by General de Gaulle, and brings to
vivid life a true story of heroes and conflicts forgotten over the
next half-century as the movement became a myth. Based on hundreds
of French eyewitness accounts and including recently-released
archival material, this book uses dramatic personal stories to take
the reader on one of the great adventures of the 20th century.
