This is an amazing and very informative book which attempts to give an overview of the role played by many resistance groups in France during WWII and how these groups related to one another and to the Free French forces based outside the country at the time.

Personal stories are related and the sacrifices made by members of the resistance are told to great effect.

I think Matthew Cobb has succeeded in producing a book that throws light on the Resistance in a way that has not been done before. A fascinating book. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
The next time you see Paris, imagine the public buildings draped with swastika flags, the streets crowded with the grey-green uniforms of the German army, the humiliation of Jews wearing yellow stars on their clothes, threatened with deportation and death.
