During WWII, resistance movements were born as each tried to shake off the wrath of Hitler's tyranny. The author describes how the resistance movements began, who ran them, what they accomplished, and how they contributed to the shape of Europe after WWII. Special attention is paid to the vigorous resistance movements of France, Norway, Yugoslavia and Russia, told from those who participated. Vintage photos and maps, along with a detailed text, combine to tell this harrowing story.
