Reviews

The value of this work lies in the fact that it gives an insight into one of the Second World War's least-known events. * Paul Maurice, French History * Admirably frank ... Jones's sober narrative makes disappointing reading for romantics, but his conclusions are impressively clear-headed. * Max Hastings, The New York Review of Books *


Admirably frank ... Jones's sober narrative makes disappointing reading for romantics, but his conclusions are impressively clear-headed. Max Hastings, The New York Review of Books


Eisenhower's Guerrillas introduces us to a fascinating subset of the massive D-Day operation. It reminds us of the brutality of the Germans' occupation and the eagerness of the French to be rid of them. And it illustrates all too clearly what Eisenhower dealt with every day. His bosses could be as problematic as the enemy. -- Bruce Zellers, Michigan War Studies Review The value of this work lies in the fact that it gives an insight into one of the Second World War's least-known events. --French History
