The Ruthless Civil War Book 6 - Amouroux

THE RUTHLESS CIVIL WAR

1943. France is torn apart. On one side, the Milice and the Gestapo. On the other, the maquis born in the shadows.

This is the year when Jean Moulin unifies the Resistance — and when he is arrested and tortured. The year when some French people hunt down other French people. Henri Amouroux recounts this silent civil war with relentless rigor, without manichaeism, revealing the tragic complexity of a nation fighting against itself.

The sixth volume of The Great History of the French under Occupation, this book is a crucial document on France in 1943.
