"In the summer of 1944 George Millar was parachuted into France with the codename Émile to work alongside the Maquis. D-Day was imminent and Millar's task was to link local resistance groups around Besançon into an effective guerrilla force able to disrupt the enemy's ability to move reinforcements ... A hero to those he served alongside, Millar was awarded the Legion d'Honneur and the Croix de Guerre. to this day, Maquis remains one of the finest accounts of life with the French Resistance."--Back cover
George Millar Livres
George Reid Millar était un journaliste, auteur et soldat écossais dont la production littéraire s'inspire largement de ses remarquables expériences de guerre. Il fut reconnu pour sa bravoure et son ingéniosité lors de son évasion pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qu'il a relatée dans un de ses premiers ouvrages. Plus tard, il fut décoré pour son service en France en 1944, combattant derrière les lignes ennemies aux côtés de la Résistance locale. Ces expériences, qui ont inspiré son livre le plus connu, soulignent son talent pour le récit d'action et d'héroïsme.
