Más información sobre el libro

Resistance to German-led Axis occupation occurred across the European continent during the Second World War. It took various forms - non-cooperation and disinformation, sabotage, espionage, armed opposition, and full-scale partisan warfare. It is an important element in the experience and national memory of the peoples under Axis control. This authoritative and accessible survey provides a reliable, in-depth, up-to-date account of the resistance in each region and country, along with an assessment of its effectiveness and the Axis reaction to it. An extensive introduction by the editors draws together the threads of the varied movements and groups, highlighting their differences and similarities. The book will contribute to the debates about the importance of individual resistance movements and will be thought-provoking for those interested in or studying occupied Europe during the Second World War.
