I've had this for a while, picked up in a thrift shop. This is an advance proof copy so no sleeve on it

Subtitled "The untold story of how one French community defied the Nazis and saved thousands of lives"

By Peter Grose; Nicholas Brealey Publishing; ISBN 978 1 857886269




There was a letter from the publisher slipped inside, detailing the book...

Quote: "... the villagers saved the lives of over 5000 men, women and children, many of them Jewish, in full view of the Nazis and the Vichy collaborators. It features an extraordinary cast of characters. They include the.... glamorous female SOE agent with a wooden leg (which she called 'Cuthbert')...." etc
