The Secret Army 1942-1945, from the Resistance to the Army of Victory

L20240109
€34.12
When speaking of the Resistance, one most often refers to the movements — that is, the political actors. The military actors are overlooked, and among them the Secret Army, the undeniable armed wing of the Resistance as envisioned by General de Gaulle. It is therefore important to examine its founding, its development, its acts of bravery and its...

Between 1618 and 1648, Europe was ravaged by war. No synthesis has until now shown with such clarity the violence and the scope of this civil and European war.
