Reviews

Like most aspects of this global war, the scholarship on the resistance is enormous but relatively difficult to access. Zander provides an excellent overview of this complex topic. Based of necessity on secondary sources, Hidden Armies provides an excellent introduction and starting place for further study. . . . An important acquisition for modern history collections. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All levels/libraries. - Choice
