Description
The Riviera at War: World War II on the Côte d'Azur The French Riviera was one of the few regions in the world to be dominated by all three main Axis powers during World War II - Germany, Italy, and Japan. The region's inhabitants suffered under Italian Fascism, German Nazism, and the even more oppressive rule of Vichy France. This book tells for the first time the full story of World War II on the French Riviera, drawing on previously unseen sources and photographs. The conflict began in June 1940, when the region was forced to defend itself against the Italian army, and lasted until April 1945, with a final battle against German and Italian forces. This period was longer than any other part of France, making it a crucial chapter in the country's wartime history. For anyone interested in understanding the complexities of World War II on French soil, this book is a valuable resource.
