From his office at the American Hospital, itself an epicenter of Allied and Axis intrigue, Jackson smuggled fallen Allied fighter pilots safely out of France, a job complicated by the hospital director's close ties to collaborationist Vichy. After witnessing the brutal round- up of his Jewish friends, Jackson invited Liberation to officially operate out of his home at Number 11. When his secret life was discovered by his Nazi neighbors, he and his family were forced to undertake a journey into the dark heart of the war-torn continent from which there was little chance of return. Awash with the tense atmosphere of World War II's Europe, Avenue of Spies introduces us to the brave doctor who risked everything to defy Hitler"-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Jackson, Sumner Waldron. 600 10 Jackson, Sumner Waldron|xFamily. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xUnderground movements|zFrance |zParis. 650 0 Spies|zFrance|zParis|vBiography. 650 0 Americans|zFrance|zParis|vBiography. 650 0 Physicians|zFrance|zParis|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|zFrance|zParis. 651 0 Paris (France)|xHistory, Military|y20th century. 651 0 France|xHistory|yGerman occupation, 1940-1945.
