520    "A monumental history that finally integrates the many 
       resistance movements against Nazi hegemony across Europe 
       into a single, sweeping narrative. It's almost shocking to
       think that now, more than seventy years after the Nazi 
       surrender in 1945, there is not a single volume that has 
       attempted to unify the resistance movements that convulsed
       Europe during the brutal years of occupation. In her 
       extraordinary work, Resistance, Halik Kochanski does just 
       that, creating a prodigiously researched account that 
       becomes the first to bring these disparate histories into 
       a single narrative. Taking us from France in the west to 
       parts of the Soviet Union in the east, Resistance reveals 
       why and how small bands of individuals undertook actions 
       that could lead not merely to their own deaths, but to the
       destruction of their entire communities. As Kochanski 
       demonstrates, most who joined up were ordinary people who 
       would not have been expected-even by themselves-to become 
       heroes. Simultaneously panoramic and heartbreakingly 
       intimate, Resistance is an incomparable history necessary 
       for any home library"--|cProvided by publisher.
