Book Synopsis One Day in France by : Jean-Marie Borzeix
Download or read book One Day in France written by Jean-Marie Borzeix and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: April 6, 1944. A detachment of German soldiers arrive in a rural French town, hunting down resistance fighters, many of whom are hiding in the region. More than sixty years later, the villagers clearly remember the day when four peasants from a nearby village were taken hostage and shot as an example to others. But do they remember the whole story? Jean-Marie Borzeix sets out to investigate the events of Holy Thursday 1944, and to reveal the hidden truths of that fateful day. He uncovers the story of a mysterious 'fifth man' shot alongside the resisters and eventually unravels a trail which leads him to Paris, Israel and into the darkest corners of the Holocaust in France. A captivating story, the events of this day in a small, entirely typical, town illuminate the true impact of World War II in France.

This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the morning of June 6, 1944, the largest and most powerful armada of warships the world had ever seen left southern England bound for the beaches of Normandy. The thousands of American, British, Canadian, Polish, and Norwegian soldiers on board had one mission: invade France and liberate it from the occupation by Nazi Germany. Over the course of the next three months, that is precisely what they, and the Free French troops who would later join them, did. From the sands of beaches code-named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword, through the nearly impenetrable hedgerows of the Norman countryside, and on into the French capital of Paris, the Allied armies drove forward to victory against fierce German opposition. Illustrated with full-color and black-and-white photographs, and accompanied by a chronology, bibliography, and further resources, D-Day and the Liberation of France, Updated Edition provides a clear and comprehensive account of this remarkable struggle to determine the fate of Western Europe during World War II. Historical spotlights and excerpts from primary source documents are also included.
Book Synopsis Deepest France: Mysterious Days by : Julius Raper
Download or read book Deepest France: Mysterious Days written by Julius Raper and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-07-28 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milt Walters is drawn to France and the mythic search for the Holy Grail. However, when a boy is found murdered, the ramifications will haunt Milt for decades to come. The release of 1983s Holy Blood, Holy Grail also triggered the release of Milt Walters imagination. Along with his fifteen-year-old daughter, the mystery author travelled to the charismatic Rennes region in the French Pyrenees to learn more about the biblical legend. Once there, he came upon ghostly tales of Mary Magdalene, the Dark Madonna, and the descendants of Jesus Christ. Shortly before their visit, a young boy is found murdereda youth who carried an almost ethereal innocence about him. Milt is drawn into the regional mysticism and soon finds himself penning an out-of-character, factually-based mystery novel, entitled Deepest France. Two decades later, the young boys murder remains unsolved, and Milt is drawn again to the haunting Rennes region of France. This time, the land is different; Milt is different. He is fixated on the boys murder and how it relates to French legends of the Grail. How does any of it relate to a fast-moving, modern world? When new violence breaks out in the quiet mountainside, Milt becomes caught up in writing a new novel: Mysterious Days. However, Milts new book does not only seek a murderer; it seeks a mythical grail of Milts very own.

Book Synopsis The Day Guinea Rejected De Gaulle of France and Chose Independence by : Lansiné Kaba
Download or read book The Day Guinea Rejected De Gaulle of France and Chose Independence written by Lansiné Kaba and published by Diasporic Africa Press. This book was released on 2020-12-01 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guinea of Sékou Touré entered modern history as an independent African nation on September 28, 1958 with a resounding "No" to the French community proposed by General Charles de Gaulle. This was one of the signature moments in the history of French decolonization in Africa and of the African independence movement writ large. The myth of Sékou Touré-meaning the transformation of his image into that of the bard and symbol of African dignity, and even of a great leader of the Third World-was born at that precise moment. Buy why did Guinea reject General de Gaulle's 1958 project of a French-African community and chose independence instead? Sékou Touré thought only free peoples were capable of assuming their destiny and had articulated a bold plan for an independent Guinea: liberate political detainees; abolish traditional chieftaincy; recruit through competitive examination of new administrative agents; increase salaries and family allowances; reduce personal tax; defend women's rights and reduce the price of dowries; encourage female education; eliminate the monopoly on rice held by the large companies; create stabilization fund for crops such as bananas, coffee, and cocoa; and deregulate the diamond-mining industry. Though the Guinean leader was experienced in politics, perhaps he misjudged the internal situation of France, its obligations in the face of international appetites in the delicate period of decolonization, and the capacities of independent Guinea. Professor Lansiné Kaba, a Guinean historian, recounts in this work not only the events which led to the negative vote and that which followed it, but also, with hindsight, a real retrospective in light of burning questions about leadership, the use of power, the duty of remembrance and unity, the democratic choice and the future of Guinea facing the challenges of the 21st century.

Book Synopsis D-Day Through French Eyes by : Mary Louise Roberts
Download or read book D-Day Through French Eyes written by Mary Louise Roberts and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-05-16 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A moving examination of how French civilians experienced the fighting” at Normandy during WWII from the acclaimed author of What Soldiers Do (Telegraph, UK). “Like big black umbrellas, they rain down on the fields across the way, and then disappear behind the black line of the hedges.” Silent parachutes dotting the night sky—that’s how one Normandy woman learned that the D-Day invasion was under way in June of 1944. Though they yearned for liberation, the French had to steel themselves for war, knowing that their homes, lands, and fellow citizens would have to bear the brunt of the attack. With D-Day through French Eyes, Mary Louise Roberts turns the conventional narrative of D-Day on its head, taking readers across the Channel to view the invasion anew. Roberts builds her history from an impressive range of gripping first-person accounts by French citizens throughout the region. A farm family notices that cabbage is missing from their garden—then discovers that the guilty culprits are American paratroopers hiding in the cowshed. Fishermen rescue pilots from the wreck of their B-17, then search for clothes big enough to disguise them as civilians. A young man learns to determine whether a bomb is whistling overhead or silently plummeting toward them. When the allied infantry arrived, French citizens guided them to hidden paths and little-known bridges, giving them crucial advantages over the German occupiers. As she did in her acclaimed account of GIs in postwar France, What Soldiers Do, Roberts here sheds vital new light on a story we thought we knew. "In the great tradition of Studs Terkel and Is Paris Burning?, Mary Louise Roberts uses the diaries and memoirs of French civilians to narrate a history of the French at D-Day that has for too long been occluded by the mythology of the allied landing.”—Alice Kaplan, author of Dreaming in French
