About This Item
New York: Wyndham Books, c1980. First Printing. Hardcover. very good/good. 25 cm, 254, [2] pages, illus., footnotes, notes, front DJ flap price clipped, some wear and soiling to DJ. The author also wrote fiction, including at least one The Man from U.N.C.L.E stories. The role of the Resistance in the Allied liberation of the South of France. The central figures are two Cote d'Azur guerrilla personalities: school principal Ange-Marie Miniconi, who organized the region's resistance fighters into an effective fighting organization; and early recruit Helene Vagliano, who died before a Vichy firing squad without ever revealing the names of fellow maquisards. There's action aplenty: Miniconi saved the town of Cannes from Wehrmacht demolition squads when the Allies landed by brazenly hoodwinking the enemy commandant into believing that Cannes was encircled.
