Description

The Underground War in Europe, 1939-1945 A sweeping history of occupation and resistance in war-torn Europe, Resistance explores the varied experiences of those living under Nazi rule. From Denmark, where some countries enjoyed relative autonomy, to France, where collaboration was widespread, the occupation was marked by a complex web of constraints and defiance. Halik Kochanski's book delves into the stories of ordinary people who risked everything to resist the Third Reich, from partisan warfare in the Soviet Union to acts of defiance in the Netherlands and Norway. Filled with powerful and often little-known stories, Resistance sheds light on the extraordinary challenges faced by those who chose to resist, and the remarkable acts of bravery and resilience that followed. This powerful and humane account is a fascinating examination of the ways in which the subjugated peoples of Europe fought back against the Germans.
