The Resistance in Western Europe 1940-1945 is a sweeping analytical history of the underground anti-Nazi forces during World War II. Examining clandestine organizations in Norway Denmark the Netherlands Belgium France and Italy Olivier Wieviorka sheds new light on the factors that shaped the resistance and its place in the grand scheme of Anglo-American military strategy. While national actors played a leading role in fomenting resistance British and American intelligence services and propaganda as well as financial material and logistical support were crucial to its activities and growth. Wieviorka illuminates the policies of governments in exile and resistance actors regarding cooperation with the British and Americans pointing to the persistence of national self-interest and long-standing historical tensions. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources and bringing together the political diplomatic and military dimensions of the conflict this book is the first account of the resistance on a continental scale and from a trans-European perspective.
