Description
Paris '44: The Shame and the Glory
A gripping narrative of the liberation of Paris in 1944, one of the most dramatic moments of World War II. This fresh account tells the story of the city's resurgence from the shadows of oppression and humiliation, as well as the complex web of relationships between its participants.
Through the eyes of a range of individuals, including Americans, French, and Germans, as well as resisters and collaborators, this book reveals the suspense, danger, exhilaration, and vengeance that defined those heady days.
