2nd book by Charles Glass

I enjoyed this book as it was a great companion to The Deserters. Nice to read about what you don't read in history books.

A Fairly Good Scholarly Look @ This Subject

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

I found this book a mixed bag of good and not-so-good. There was a lot of information presented that was new to me. I found myself engrossed into the lives of Americans in Nazi-Occupied France and in all the varying degrees of their collaboration, help to the Resistance, or just trying to survive intact. It's very evident that the author put a lot of time into research and into writing a valid non-fictional, scholarly book. He was also able to balance it out with an enjoyable reading style that brought the characters alive and made them relevant to the reader.

However, it seemed like the author was trying too hard at times to be scholarly and included information into the narrative that sometimes didn't seem to need to be there. Intricate details about place names and life histories of very minor individuals in the narrative bogged down the reading considerably. There was also a focus on certain individuals to the detriment of other story lines. The balance between the different stories the author was trying to tell was very skewed. I'll admit that I skimmed some sections of the narrative that dealt with character owning too big a presence in the book.

When it comes down to it, this is a fairly good book on this subject, one of the few I know of. It is definitely well researched and reads, for the most part, smoothly. There are some pacing issues and instances where the author puts way too much information into the book. Yet, I found myself enjoying the reading experience and learning something too.
