A Very Good, Concise History of a Broad Subject

This book provides a really good overview of the resistance efforts opposing the Nazis in Europe, with one large omission -- the Soviet partisans are largely ignored. I would imagine this is because their actions would completely fill the book. Several well known actions are highlighted and obscure efforts are also explained and put into perspective. The sections on France and Norway are particularly strong. Overall this book is a good introduction and basic history of the WW2 resistance movements. I enjoyed it.
