"Shortly after the conclusion of the war, Humbert, a middle-aged art historian and one of the founders of Résistance, the illegal liberation newspaper, published this compelling diary-memoir. Long referenced by World War II scholars, this book has never before been published in English. In vivid detail, she chronicles the fall of Paris, the Nazi occupation, her dangerous underground activities and alliances, and, finally, her arrest and imprisonment in a series of brutal German labor camps. In addition to being a passionate testament to all those who bravely struggled against seemingly insurmountable odds, this memoir also serves as a significant contribution to the history of women in warfare. Although it's not for the faint of heart, those who are compelled to read this inspiring true story will be amply inspired and rewarded."—Booklist
