Through his extensive firsthand knowledge and his raconteur's gift for anecdote, David Schoenbrun makes us participants in history. Against the backdrop of events and errors that brought the fall of France in 1940, we watch the birth of the major Resistance movements and see them grow from fledgling disseminators of propaganda into a major armed force. We follow the intelligence war between Resistance spies and the Gestapo; the intricate double game played by Vichy collaborists; the lonely Charles DeGaulle, trying to carve the nucleus of a Free French force out of a conservative officer corps. This 1980 Dutton Adult Hardback is in good condition. DJ has small rip top front; previous owner's stamp inside but crossed out with black felt; heavy.
