Eran las primeras horas de la tarde del 25 de agosto de 194. Empezaba la conferencia estratégica en el Cuartel General de Hitler. Un mensaje acababa de anunciar que las fuerzas aliadas habían regresado al centro de París. Hitler era presa de una terrorífica cólera. Gritaba a sus generales, a los que no había cesado de exigir que la capital francesa fuese defendida hasta el último hombre. Pero si París había de perderse inevitablemente, el enemigo no había de encontrar más que un campo de ruinas. ( ![]() Read this book long, long ago, in the late eighties Read this book long, long ago, in the late eighties An intense first-hand account of the final days of World War II in Paris -- the occupation, the resistance, and the final liberation. The military details are balanced with numerous personal vignettes to create a you-are-there quality to the narrative. The amazing thing is that even though we know the outcome (Paris survived intact) the authors create suspense in the whys and wherefores. Boffo nonfiction!! Story of how senior officers of the Wehrmacht disobeyed a direct order from Hitler to burn Paris to the ground rather than allow it to be liberated as an open city. Later made into a movie. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

?Is Paris burning?? is the question Hitler asked over and over as the French Second and American Fourth Divisions battered their way into the city. Few moments in history are as stirring as the Allied liberation of Paris. Yet few people are aware of how narrowly?and how miraculously?the city escaped Hitler's secret plan to reduce it to ashes. Is Paris Burning? reconstructs, in meticulous and riveting detail, the network of fateful events?day by day, moment by moment?that saved the City of Light. Best selling authors and renowned journalists Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre spent three years researching this book, drawing on French Resistance radio messages, German military records, countless interviews, and secret correspondence between de Gaulle, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower. Here they re-create the drama, the fervor, and the triumph that heralded one of the most dramatic events of our time. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
