Working as an underground force, the French Resistance was
initially formed spontaneously from scattered groups of men and
women, inspired by the leadership of men like Charles de Gaulle.
As the war progressed the Resistance developed into a secret army,
terrorizing the forces of occupation and would-be collaborators
alike, despite being excluded from the protection of the Geneva
Convention, which left them facing torture and execution if
captured.
Striking photographs, coupled with first-hand accounts of capture
and its terrible consequences, depict an engaging and human history
of the French Resistance fighter. Terry Crowdy details the military
achievements, tactics, backgrounds, and motivations of the men and
women of the Resistance, whose actions helped to ensure the success
of the D-Day landings and the liberation of France.
