Sinopsis:
The extraordinary story of Andre Hue, who at the age of 20 was parachuted into France with the task of coordinating resistance to the Germans in Brittany, tying up German troops so they could not be diverted to fight against the Allied Normandy invasions. He risked immediate death if caught, as did the Breton farmers who hid British and American airmen. For his efforts he was awarded the highest military honours by both the French and British governments. This book, a story of unbelievable courage and brutality, is based on a narrative written by Hue himself immediately after the war but never published. It offers an unforgettable portrait of operations behind the enemy line.
Acerca del autor: Andre Hue was born in Swansea of a Welsh mother and French father, and brought up in France. He was recruited by SOE and parachuted into Brittany, where he displayed outstanding bravery for which he was awarded both the DSO and the Croix de Guerre. He was later dropped behind enemy lines in Burma, and after the war joined MI6. He is in his 80s, and lives with his wife in Sussex.
