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 Libri
George Reid Millar è stato un giornalista, autore e soldato scozzese la cui produzione letteraria attinge in gran parte alle sue notevoli esperienze belliche. Fu riconosciuto per il suo coraggio e ingegno durante la sua fuga nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale, che ha narrato in un'opera iniziale. Successivamente, fu decorato per il suo servizio in Francia nel 1944, combattendo dietro le linee nemiche con la Resistenza locale. Queste esperienze, che hanno ispirato il suo libro più noto, evidenziano la sua abilità nel raccontare azione ed eroismo.
