《孤勇者:讲述SOE女英雄们为解救法军占领法国而战斗的真实故事[Audiobook]》
A fascinating, superbly researched and revelatory book – told with tremendous pace and excitement. On 18 June 1940 General de Gaulle broadcast from London to his countrymen in France about the catastrophe that had overtaken their nation – the victory of the invading Germans. He declared: ‘The flame of French Resistance must not and will not be extinguished.' The Resistance began almost immediately. At first it was made up of small, disorganised groups working in isolation. But by the time of the liberation in 1944 around 400,000 French citizens, nearly 2 per cent of the population, were involved. The Special Operations Executive (SOE) set up by Winston Churchill in 1941 saw its role in France as helping the Resistance by recruiting and organising guerrilla fighters; supplying and training them; and then disrupting the invaders by any means necessary. The aim of this work was to prepare for the invasion of Europe by Allied forces and the eventual liberation of France. It was soon decided that women would play a vital role. There were 39 female agents recruited from all walks of life, ranging from a London shop assistant to a Polish aristocrat. They all knew France well, were fluent in French and were prepared to sacrifice everything. The women trained alongside the men, learning how to disappear into the background, how to operate a radio transmitter and how to kill a man with their bare hands. Once trained, they were infiltrated behind the lines; some went on to lead thousands of Resistance fighters, while others were arrested, brutally interrogated and sent to concentration camps. Lonely Courage tells their remarkable story and sheds new light on what life was really like for these brave women.
一本令人着迷、研究精良且充满 revelation 的书籍——以惊人的速度和激情叙述。1940年6月18日,戴高乐将军从伦敦向法国的同胞广播,讲述了他们国家遭受的灾难——德国入侵者的胜利。他说道:“法国防御的火焰必须不灭。”抵抗运动几乎立即就开始了。起初,它由一些零散的小团体组成,并且彼此孤立地工作。但到1944年解放之时,约有40万法国公民、即全国人口的2%都卷入其中了。1941年由温斯顿·丘吉尔(Churchill)在法国设立的特别行动处(SOE)认为自己的角色是帮助抵抗运动:招募和组织游击战士;供给并训练他们,并采用任何手段中断侵略者。 此工作的目标是为了准备盟军入侵欧洲以及最终解放法国。很快决定,女性将在其中发挥关键作用。有39名女性从各行各业被招募过来,包括一名伦敦的杂货店助理到一位波兰贵族。她们都了解法国,精通法语并且愿意付出一切。这些女性与男性一起接受训练,学习如何融入背景、如何操作无线电发射器以及如何徒手杀死一个人。一旦完成训练,她们就会渗透进敌后方;有些女战士成为了成千上万抵抗战士的领导人,而其他人则被捕并遭受残酷审问,被送往集中营。 《孤独的勇气》讲述了这些勇敢女性的非凡故事,并为这些英勇女性的真实生活状况提供了新的视角。
