Hey folks, I am in a book reading binge, and want to consider great books detailing the struggles such as the French underground or resistance during Nazi occupation or other similar situations.
The book could be about events in Poland, the Czech Republic, or other occupied WARSAW pact countries. Or it could be about countries occupied by Japan, or countries that suffered under their own self imposed hells such as Cambodia. Really looking for good, intelligent reads on the mindset and struggles of the people. Not looking for a "how to fight back" type read, but more a retrospect of how it happened, what happened when it happened, and the such from the human perspective. Something thought provoking and cognitive on how human's managed through times of strife, change, loss, and peril, and how they responded and adapted to the change. I understand that resistance movements would likely be a part of such books, but I am looking more for the intellectual issues and not so much about the tactical. I have book next in the queue about Rhodesia, so I might have this human tragedy covered, or maybe not!
I know there is a great read out there somewhere on this!
Thanks
