Like 'Maquis', this autobiography includes wartime experiences without the gung-ho and without character judgements based purely on nationality. For the period it covers, and in which it was written, this is fairly unusual. Millar was a man from a privileged background, and makes no apology for it, but for me it doesn't detract from the book.

4740. Road To Resistance An Autobiography, by George Millar (read 19 Aug 2010) This is an engaging account of the author's life from his birth in Scotland in 1910 till 1945. He relates his time as a newspaperman in France in 1940, his enlistment in the British Army, his capture in Libya by the Germans, his escape in Germany, his getting to Spain and to Gibralter, and his time helping the French Resistance from June 1, 1944, till August or Sept of 1944. Well-written, with a strong story line, I thought it a good book to read. ( )
