Recenzii
Fascinating... courage, cruelty, heroism and the truth about both resistance and collaboration are revealed in a work that brilliantly reconstructs a past that is still contested. WATERSTONES BOOKS QUARTERLY Bailey renders history personal and so brings it to life. SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Combining memoir, fact and storytelling, Bailey does an impressive job. INDEPENDENT Part travel book, part history, part persnoal memoir, this is a gripping read. NORTHERN ECHO
Descriere
A vivid blend of history and travel and a sweeping story of collaboration and resistance, fear and heroism, pacifism and sacrifice all set against the backdrop of the Pyrenees.
