Book Description
This book is a study in the ethics of war. It is the only work which focuses on the moral dilemmas of resistance and collaboration in Nazi-occupied Europe, including a detailed examination of Jewish resistance.

Also included: discussion of violations of the Laws of War (especially torture) by the resistance.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘This is a history book of the best sort: an even-handed account that makes us question the assumptions we have taken for granted and look back at the details we have too often overlooked, tried hard to forget or swept away.’ – Dr Robert Eaglestone, Royal Holloway, University of London
