There are thousands of stories about WWII, each offering a unique point of view. This fascinating book tell the story of the heroic French people, ordinary citizens; their daily fears, the food rationing, sometimes no food at all, no heat, sirens screaming in the middle of the night, and half asleep they had to rush to bomb shelters or some other hiding place.
