I won this book as a Goodreads giveaway (yay!) It is non-fiction book about Occupied France, although the central focus is the Boulloche family, who three children were members of the French resistance, who actively opposed the German occupation and Vichy government. I would have preferred more details about the family's activities and less history, but I think their modesty kept much of their contributions secret. In fact, Kaiser's perseverance in gaining the family's trust was extraordinary by all accounts. I was less interested in the Normandy invasion and the key role the resistance played in distracting the Germans and disrupting the flow of trains and tanks to battle the Allies. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica
In the autumn of 1943, André Boulloche became de Gaulle's military delegate in Paris, coordinating all the Resistance movements in the nine northern regions of France only to be betrayed by one of his associates, arrested, wounded by the Gestapo, and taken prisoner. His sisters carried on the fight without him until the end of the war. Boulloche survived three concentration camps and later became a prominent French politician who devoted the rest of his life to reconciliation of France and Germany. This is the first time the family has cooperated to recount their extraordinary ordeal. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
