Resistance: Memoirs of Occupied France by Agnes Humbert (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780747596745)

'Agnes Humbert bears devastating witness to her time An insider's account of the germination of the French Resistance' William Boyd

In the summer of 1940, as the German Occupation tightened its grip on Paris, Agnes Humbert helped to establish one of the first resistance cells. Within a year the group was publishing a news bulletin, helping allied airmen escape and passing military information back to London. Then came the catastrophe of betrayal, followed by arrest and interrogation, imprisonment and trial and, for Agnes, deportation to slave labour camp in Germany. Resistance is the secret journal of a woman who never gave up hope.
