First–hand account of how the Resistance heroes lived and their
training in England, along with colour photos of
the radio equipment they used • Includes accounts by British historians, radio
operators, and those who belonged to the Allied underground.
All Resistance and radio buffs have been waiting for this book,
abundantly illustrated and giving an exhaustive account of the real champions of
Free France; the Allied underground radio operators parachuted into Occupied Territory.
Ruthlessly pursued by the Germans, the radio operators had a life
expectancy of six months. For the first time, the training they received in
England is described in detail and
five accounts describe how these heroes lived daily. Most of the radio
equipment, some of which is very rare, is shown for the first time in colour
photos.
The son of a Resistance worker, Jean-Louis Perquin has earned the
friendship and the trust of the veterans and has distinguished himself by
publishing articles on what Allied special agents wore when they were dropped
into enemy occupied territory. In touch with a lot of historians and museum
curators in the US,
Great Britain,
Norway and
France, he has drawn up this first
title in the 'Resistance' collection with devotion and
humility.
