Paris 1944: Occupation, Resistance, Liberation: A Social History by Patrick Bish

Description: Paris 1944 by Patrick Bishop Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A moving, dramatic social history of the liberation of Paris in 1944, one of the most inspiring and momentous events of the twentieth century. The Sunday Times (London) bestseller The fall of Paris to the Nazis on June 14th, 1940, was one of the darkest days of World War II. And the liberation of the city on August 25th, 1944, felt like the brightest. The liberation was also the biggest party of the century: champagne flowed freely, total strangers embraced--it was a celebration of life renewed against the backdrop of the worlds favorite city, as experienced by the likes of Ernest Hemingway, J. D. Salinger, Pablo Picasso, and Robert Capa. But there was nothing preordained about this happy ending. Had things transpired differently, Paris might have gone down as a ghastly monument to Nazi nihilism. Paris 1944--timed for the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of Paris--tells the story of those iridescent days in a startling new way. Cutting through decades of myth-making, the reader watches the citys fate hanging in the balance against the drama, heroism, joy, and suspense of one of the most explosive moments of the twentieth century. Author Biography Patrick Bishop is the author of Operation Jubilee as well as several bestselling histories of the Royal Air Force during the World War II, including Fighter Boys and Bomber Boys. He spent twenty-five years as a foreign correspondent covering major conflicts around the world. Patrick lives in England.
