Spring of Death and Hope - Book 7 by Henri Amouroux

A SPRING OF DEATH AND HOPE

Spring 1944. The Landing is being prepared in secret. The maquis await weapons. France holds its breath.

This is the moment when everything can change — one way or the other. Henri Amouroux recounts these months of extreme tension where men and women risk their lives every day, where parachute drops light up the countryside nights, where the hope of liberation mixes with the terror of Nazi repression.

The seventh volume of The Great History of the French under Occupation, this book is a gripping account of the months leading up to liberation.

A Spring of Death and Hope is the seventh volume in Henri Amouroux’s series.
