Publisher's Synopsis
A study of the maquis, the resistance movement in southern France in World War II. Professor Kedward's account explores what it meant to be a member of the maquis, both at the time of the German occupation and afterwards. He examines the motivations of the maquisards and how the circumstances of occupation and resistance affected the ways of life or rural communities in the south of France. The book allows the voices of individuals to be heard and offers insights into the nature of community and regional tradition.
