Resistance: European Resistance to the Nazis, 1940-1945 (Dialogue Espionage Classics)

"The definitive history."—Sunday Telegraph

This groundbreaking book was the first to analyse the whole field of wartime resistance to the Nazis in Europe. In following a truly epic theme, with its drama of Intelligence, deception, escape and subversion and in gathering its main threads into the fabric of a single volume, Michael Foot achieved a unique and valuable work of gripping and lasting significance.

Michael Foot served throughout the Second World War and in 1945 was decorated for service with the French Resistance in Brittany. He taught at Oxford University for eight years, before becoming Professor of Modern History at Manchester University. He died in February 2012.
