Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Paper Bullets is the first book to tell the history of an audacious anti-Nazi campaign undertaken by an unlikely pair: two French women, Lucy Schwob and Suzanne Malherbe, who drew on their skills as Parisian avant-garde artists to write and distribute 'paper bullets' wicked insults against Hitler, calls to rebel, and subversive fictional dialogues designed to demoralise Nazi troops occupying their adopted home on the British Channel Island of Jersey. Devising their own PSYOPS campaign, they slipped their notes into soldiers pockets or tucked them inside newsstand magazines.Hunted by the secret field police, Lucy and Suzanne were finally betrayed in 1944, when the Germans imprisoned them and tried them in a court martial, sentencing them to death for their actions. Ultimately they survived, but even in jail, they continued to fight the Nazis by reaching out to other prisoners and spreading a message of hope.Better remembered today by their artist names, Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, the couples actions were even more courageous because of who they were: lesbian partners known for cross-dressing and creating the kind of gender-bending work that the Nazis would come to call 'degenerate art'. In addition, Lucy was half Jewish, and they had communist affiliations in Paris, where they attended political rallies with Surrealists and socialised with artists like Gertrude Stein.Paper Bullets is a compelling World War II story that has not been told before about the galvanising power of art, and of resistance. The untold true story of two courageous, gender-norm-defying artists who undertook a dangerous counter-propaganda campaign to undermine Nazi occupation in the British Channel Island of Jersey during WWII. Captured, imprisoned, tried, and sentenced to death, they almost paid the ultimate price; their actions serve as inspiration for civilian resistance in our own times.
