5.0 out of 5 stars The French Resistance, an excellent book on the subject!, January 14, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The French Resistance: 1940-1944 (Pocket Archives Series) (Paperback)
Having read many books on the subject of the French Resistance during WWII, I have found this to be one of the most amazing! It gives just enough information to inform you on this incredible chapter in French History, then it leaves the rest up to over 100 photographs. An excellent photo essay volume on Resistance, it presents the subject as never before. If Pictures are worth a thousand words then this book contains a million. The author, Raymond Aubrac, one of the most recognized of the living Resistants, having been friends with Jean Moulin and very active in Resistance Leon. This adds validity to this source knowing that a particapant authored this wonderful mini-reference. VIVE-DE-GAULLE!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars I'm sorry Mr. and Mrs. Aubrac, September 19, 2001

This review is from: The French Resistance: 1940-1944 (Pocket Archives Series) (Paperback)
It pains me to give this only 3 stars because I so admire it's authors. Please forgive me Lucie and Raymond! The idea of a collection of pictures to document the French Resistance is outstanding and there should be more books like this available in this country. The English version of this however, left me a bit disappointed. There were all sorts of pictures: Some you may have seen before, some you probably have not, some very candid, and others (even combat photos) clearly staged. And while there are some excellent photos of posters and propaganda papers, there are no English translations of the headlines. Perhaps I should learn French. I have that on my list, do not worry! And as for the captions, I wish there were more. Please give us a second edition with more details and captions. Tell us more, tell us all! The intro to the book was grand!
