June 12, 20187 yr Was at the Armides last week in Paris and they had a fascinating exhibit on the French Resistance. Can anyone recommend a book on this subject? I know next to nothing about it and never gave them much credit. My perception is that Patton liberated France, but they take great pride in their role so would like to learn more about what they did.
August 5, 20187 yr Soldiers of the Night by David Shoenbrun. The Story of the French Resistance; it is pretty thick. I read it when it came out (1980) and not since.
August 8, 20187 yr On the International Spy Museum's Podcast, they interviewed the author of "The Saboteur: The Aristocrat Who Became France's Most Daring Anti-Nazi Commando". I haven't read it, but added it to the reading list. Seems like an interesting read.
