Paddy Ashdown: A Cruel Victory

From best-selling author of A Brilliant Little Operation comes the long neglected D-Day story of the Resistance uprising and subsequent massacre on the Vercors massif – the largest action by the French Resistance during the Second World War.

The Vercors massif stretches from the ancient city of Grenoble to the vineyards of Valence to the
south-west. Its forbidding cliffs and high plateau form a natural fortress, today the Vercors is a
place of escape but it has bitter wartime memories – of refuge from retribution, persecution and
bloody repression.

A Cruel Victory will be published on May 15th
