Resistance: The Underground War in Europe, 1939-1945
by Halik Kochanski
Anyone whose parents lived through World War II in Europe will have heard stories about the resistance to the Nazis. Heroic deeds make up the bulk of these stories, and tales of collaboration are fewer and further between. Resistance by British historian Halik Kochanski looks at the resistance to the German occupation country by country, to analyze what really happened in a very straightforward, unvarnished way.
