This landmark book, the product of years of research by a team of
two dozen historians, reveals that resistance to occupation by Nazi
Germany and Fascist Italy during the Second World War was not
narrowly delineated by country but startlingly international. Tens
of thousands of fighters across Europe resisted 'transnationally',
travelling to join networks far from their homes. These
'foreigners' were often communists and Jews who were already being
persecuted and on the move. Others were expatriate business people,
escaped POWs, forced labourers or deserters. Their experiences
would prove personally transformative and greatly affected the
course of the conflict. From the International Brigades in Spain to
the onset of the Cold War and the foundation of the state of
Israel, they played a significant part in a period of upheaval and
change during the long Second World War. -- .
