Love And War In The Pyrenees
Trade Paperback
A Story Of Courage, Fear And Hope, 1939-1944
Over the fifteen years Rosemary has been living in the region, the more she realised she didn't know about the war; about the French during the Occupation, the real role of the Resistance, the level of collaboration, the concentration camps in the Pyrenees and the treatment of Jews and other refugees. It is still very much a veiled history and most of the archives remain firmly closed.
LOVE AND WAR IN THE PYRENEES is a portrait of human tragedy, heroism and cruelty that will create a picture of the period from a contemporary angle, the history linked to sights that can still be visited and brought to life by letters, interviews and encounters with people today, including the historians currently trying to investigate what really happened.Buy now!
