Product Description
Working as an underground force, the French Resistance was initially formed spontaneously from scattered groups of the displaced and discontent. As the war progressed the Resistance developed into a secret army, terrorizing the occupying forces and would-be collaborators alike although they were unprotected by the Geneva Convention and faced torture and execution if captured. Striking photographs, coupled with first-hand accounts of capture and its terrible consequences, create an engaging and human history of the "French Resistance fighter". Terry Crowdy details the military achievements, tactics, backgrounds and motivations of the patriots whose assistance helped ensure the success of the D-Day landings and French liberation.

Format:Paperback
This book goes to show that you dont need to have a name in the frame to write a good book.
Terry Crowdy has done a good job of bringing together all the facts and aspects without the book getting bogged down.
It's quick to read and points one in the right directions for further research subjects.
Plates sadly are very average quality, I would like to say bland.
One plate shows the uninspiring arrest of an allied agent on a street. At this point I was actually hoping to see the "Great Escape" scene where the Resistance Fighters pull up in a car and "MG34" a bunch of dirty rotten Nazi officers drinking a second class wine in a quiet roadside cafe...
Good book anyway.
Overpriced as standard with Osprey.

Very pleased with this order. The book is a mine of useful information about Resistance Movements during the Second World war.

From the description of what the book was about, I was expecting more, so this book did turn out to be a little disappointing. Read more
