A student and resistance fighter in the french alps during world war ii (Broché)

Early in World War II, Guy Sanglerat, a high school student at the famed Lycée du Parc in Lyon, acted upon his intense opposition to the Vichy Regime and France's occupation by Nazi Germany. Young Sanglerat took advantage of his numerous trips between Lyon and his hometown of Annecy in the nearby Haute-Savoie region to work as a liaison agent for a local Resistance movement named Coq Enchaîné. Barely escaping arrest by the French Milice, Sanglerat subsequently joined a maquis in the Alps and participated in the liberation of Annecy.
Sanglerat tells the story of his clandestine activities in parallel with another story, that of his father, a captain in the French army who was imprisoned in a German Oflag throughout the entire war.
