Inhaltsangabe
In the summer of 1940 the French army was one of the largest and best in the world confident of victory. In the space of a few nightmarish weeks that all changed as the French and their British allies were crushed and eight million people fled their homes. Richard Vinen’s new book describes the consequences of that defeat. It does so not by looking at political leaders in Vichy or Paris or London but rather at those who were caught up in daily horrors of war. It describes the fate of a French prisoner of war who was punished because he wrote a love letter to a German woman and the fate of a French woman who gave birth to a German-fathered child as the Americans landed in Normandy. It describes the ’false policemen’ who proliferated in occupied Paris as desperate men on the run seeking to feed themselves by blackmailing those who were even more vulnerable than themselves. It asks why some gentile French people chose to risk imprisonment by wearing yellow stars. It recounts the fate of a couple of estranged middle-aged Jews separated by the mobilisation of 1939 who found themselves (in July 1942) on the same train to Auschwitz. Extremely moving and brilliantly readable The Unfree French is a remarkable addition to the literature of the Second World War.

The Unfree French
Anbieter: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spanien
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Zustand: Muy bueno. : En el verano de 1940, el ejército francés era uno de los más grandes y mejor equipados del mundo, confiado en la victoria. Sin embargo, en pocas semanas, todo cambió cuando los franceses y sus aliados británicos fueron aplastados y ocho millones de personas huyeron de sus hogares. 'The Unfree French' describe las consecuencias de esa derrota, no centrándose en los líderes políticos en Vichy, París o Londres, sino en aquellos atrapados en los horrores diarios de la guerra. El libro relata el destino de un prisionero de guerra francés castigado por escribir una carta de amor a una mujer alemana, y el de una mujer francesa que dio a luz a un hijo de padre alemán durante el desembarco estadounidense en Normandía. También describe a los 'falsos policías' que proliferaron en el París ocupado, hombres desesperados huyendo y alimentándose mediante el chantaje a personas aún más vulnerables. Explora por qué algunos franceses no judíos optaron por arriesgarse al encarcelamiento usando estrellas amarillas y narra el destino de una pareja de judíos de mediana edad separados por la movilización de 1939, que se encontraron en el mismo tren a Auschwitz en julio de 1942. 'The Unfree French' es una adición notable a la literatura de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, conmovedora y de lectura brillante.
