Memoirs of French Resistance in WWII
by Michel Mockers
The coin goes up .... it comes down, and the destiny of two brothers is decided. One faces prison in Spain before being released to join the French Army under General Giraud, and finally ends up paratrooping into France as a decoy for the D-Day invasion. The other becomes a leader of his group of the French Resistance and a member of the British Mission, driving verboten cars, being shot at, saving American airmen and more.
This well written true story has it all; action, drama, romance, spies, life, and death. You will laugh and be moved to tears.
"Starred Review. Mockers's narrative holds the potential to become a classic antiwar war memoir, and it is a must-read for anyone inspired by the courage and determination of young people who take a stand against aggression in a dangerous and chaotic world." - Publishers Weekly
