French Resistance and Its Legacy

With personal and colourful reflections on tracking down resisters to the Nazi occupation of France, The French Resistance and its Legacy offers a captivating set of insights into the very substance of resistance, and the challenges it poses.

Disguise and secrecy were necessities for those creating resistance in France and still have an alluring mystery, but this book is designed
