"La France de 1940 est un pays vaincu, occupé, humilié. Mais c'est aussi, dès cette date, une nation de résistants. Même s'ils ne représentent qu'un infime pourcentage de la société, cette minorité a fait la différence et a permis au pays de figurer dans le camp des vainqueurs en 1945. Jeunes, intellectuels, paysans, citadins, communistes, chrétiens, Français libres à Londres ou maquisards dans le Vercors, cette armée des ombres a inventé la Résistance, qui n'avait encore ni nom ni existence. Au plus près de ce que fut le quotidien de ces hommes et de ces femmes, connus ou inconnus, Fabrice Grenard donne un visage à la Résistance. Il tente de percer le mystère de ce moment de liberté et d'impératif, de ce choix sans retour."--Page 4 of cover.

Olivier Wieviorka’s history of the French Resistance debunks lingering myths and offers fresh insight into social, political, and military aspects of its operation. He reveals not one but many interlocking homegrown groups often at odds over goals, methods, and leadership. Yet, despite a lack of unity, these fighters braved Nazism without blinking.

Originally published in 1975. This book fills a gap in the historical knowledge of wartime Yugoslavia. Focusing on the Chetnik movement provides a better understanding of the various ways that important segments of the population, including members of the Yugoslav officer corps and Serb civilians, perceived and responded to the occupation. The partisans' ultimate success does not conceal the fact that during the greater part of the war, several armed groups, owing at least some sort of allegiance to Mihailovic, chose very different courses of resistance. The overriding question for Milazzo is how a movement whose leadership was in no sense pro-Axis found itself progressively drawn into a hopelessly compromising set of relationships with the occupation authorities and the Quisling regime. What was it about the situation in occupied Yugoslavia and the Serb officers' response to that state of affairs that prevented them from carrying out serious anti-Axis activity or engaging in effective collaboration? The author attends to the emergence, organization, and failure of the Chetniks, the regional particularities of the movement, and Mihailovic's efforts to establish his own authority over the widely scattered non-Communist armed formations. The author also discusses the domestic opposition to Tito and the complex reality of the national and political civil war in Yugoslavia.
