Review:I'll always opt for fiction over nonfiction, but this book held my interest because of an original perspective , the French. I'd never heard of the Milice before and they were a scary group, maybe worse than the SS because they knew everyone in the smaller villages.
She was an extremely brave, almost ruthless spy, but exceptionally good at her craft. She is sort of the female Lindbergh, modest, fairly unemotional about her accomplishments. She made an e Read more

Review:I have read and enjoyed many of Mr. McCullough's books, and this one is no exception. The speeches all encourage the understanding of history, but each is unique and I learned a great deal. It was also a quick read - the individual speeches are just the right length for the bits of "free reading" time I have every day. I recommended this book to several friends, all of whom enjoyed it as much as I did. Read more

The book covers the histo... Read more
