Piperade Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 For PaulT,I'd recommend "Home Run" by John Nichol, "Saturday at M.I.9" & "Little Cyclone" by Airey Neave.. The penalty for being caught 'aiding & abetting' was so severe that it dissuaded the majority from active participation. I'm full of admiration for those brave souls who took part.

Joe Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Sad to remember that he was killed by IRA in the car park under Westminster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just john Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 [quote user="Patf"] This book gets a good review in this week's Sunday Times: The Resistance - The French Fight Against the N.a.z.i.s by Matthew Cobb.Simon and Schuster £17.99 pp 416 [/quote]Having recently read this I can thoroughly recommend it, it certainly reveals the chaos of the different factions; I lent it to a friend who returned it a week later and when I asked if he didn't have time to read it, he replied that he couldn't put it down and had been enthralled virtually none stop. The bibliography too is substantial, with lots of further reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariège Author Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Not a book but two excellent programmes on Radio 4 about the Freedom Trail (Chemin de la Liberte), the path across the Pyrenees which was used by downed airmen and Jews who were fleeing occupied France. Still available to listen: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b017ltk5Fascinating for anyone interested in the Resistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
