Describes Catherine Dior’s participation in the French Resistance and what happened to her and others when caught by the Nazis. A long portion of the book is dedicated to the interrogation and multiple stages of imprisonment they experienced. Descriptions are matter of fact and not particularly detailed. However there is so much that is covered that you really need to be prepared to read about brutality before starting this.
