“I have placed you at the head of the Army of the Potomac. Of course I have done this upon what appear to me to be sufficient reasons. And yet I think it best for you to know that there are some things in regard to which; I am not quite satisfied with you.â€

A wonderfully written biography detailing the all or every-day of spending ...By Kevin (Ric) RichardsonThe personal tale of one who was there and yes "Done that!". A wonderfully written biography detailing the all or every-day of spending one's time trying to outwit a smart enemy with a world of help behind them...a wonderful example of the horrors; despair and seeming hopelessness that can meld to drive one on...especially one with children and expecting another! She takes you with her on every shadowy step; or that is how it read to me...an exciting experience indeed.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A Memoir of meritBy M. SchwindtI love reading a serious yet engrossing memoir; in this case about a woman of the French Resistance. Most of us know of the time some of the activities---often those of men. Here; Lucie Aubrac is not only a serious resistance figure; she's an amazing author. Her book was even more fast-paced than the subsequent film made from it! I can only compare it favorably to Irene Nemirovsky and her Suites Francaise; published after her death in Auschwitz. If you are a history who needs time off from battle maps and generals; read Aubrac's memoir.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Those were the days my friendBy GopalDealing with the Gestapo in Vichy France was a challenge but Aubrac was equal to the task and seems to have not only enjoyed it but I think she even misses the exciting times she and her husband went through. There's a hint of the romantic in her descriptions and she clearly enjoyed sticking it to the Germans. It's as if she were born for the task and hasn't the slightest empathy with the German soldiers she killed. Aubrac is one tough cookie.
