Book excerpt: : No Room for Heroes, using the French Resistance and World War II as background, follows the lives of two twenty-eight-year-old female identical twins from the Vercors Plateau, Monique and Marie-Claude, as they try to outwit first the Italians who occupied the Grenoble region of Eastern France, then the Germans. Both are members of resistance groups. Complications arise as one becomes romantically involved with a radio and explosives expert flown in from England, and the other with the local catholic priest who doubles as a resistance fighter. They help General De Gaulle’s handicapped brother escape into Switzerland and downed Allied airmen into Spain. After serious acts of sabotage, destruction of railways and weapons depots, there follows dramatic captures and escapes together with harsh retaliation.

Book Synopsis No Heroes, No Monsters by : Anna Ardin
Download or read book No Heroes, No Monsters written by Anna Ardin and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-04-05 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Heroes, No Monsters focuses on the dramatic struggle of Anna Ardin, the WikiLeaks activist who, in 2010, came forward to report sexual abuse by Julian Assange. This is her testimony to a legal trial that was replaced by an Internet tribunal. A tribunal where women's rights are all too often both neglected and weaponized. A tribunal that every day of the year chooses a new woman to be the most hated. The book goes beyond the headlines - the black and white pictures of heroes or monsters - and emphasizes the need to acknowledge the shades of gray. In the book Ardin navigates through her personal life, the sexual assault charges, the media frenzy and the extensive hatred that followed from accusing a popular man, as well as through the unfair accusations of Chelsea Manning and WikiLeaks. Ardin's story is a call for justice for everyone abused, holding even important people accountable. It's a powerful compilation of the feminist lessons Ardin learned from living, for over a decade, in the shadow of the "hero" myth.
