”Agnès Humbert bears devastating witness to her time … An insider”s account of the germination of the French Resistance” William Boyd
”Sober and testifying, sardonic and humorous … A beautiful and powerful work of literature”
The Times
In the summer of 1940, as the German Occupation tightened its grip on Paris, Agnès Humbert helped to establish one of the first resistance cells. She had no experience in warfare: she was an art historian, as were most of her early comrades, colleagues from the Musée de l”Homme in Paris. All they had was an unquenchable desire to free their country from the horrors of Nazi occupation.
Within a year the group was publishing a news bulletin, helping allied airmen escape and passing military information back to London. Then came the catastrophe of betrayal, followed by arrest and interrogation, imprisonment and trial and, for Agnès, deportation to slave labour camp in Germany.
Résistance is the secret journal of a woman who never gave up hope, even in the face of impossible odds.
