5.0 out of 5 stars
a stunning account of heroism in face of overwhelming odds,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hitting Back : An Austrian Jew in the French Resistance (Studies and Texts in Jewish History and Culture) (Hardcover)
The story of Mr. Steindling moved, fascinated and challenged me to re-think my ideas on resistance and struggle in the face of a situation that must have seemed hopeless at times. It's not about winning its about living by your principles and putting your life on the line to defend them. People in adverse situations all over the world can take hope and strength from this book. A must read.
