Episode Details

After the unforeseen and quick fall of France to the German war machine, a small but fierce minority in France operated in secret to sabotage their efforts and win their country back. Margie Bucheit retells this renowned chapter of 20th Century history in her new, extensively researched historical novel, WE CHOSE RESISTANCE (Koehler Books, November 2025).  Numbering roughly 400,000 fighters, the French resistance helped the Allies to confuse, slow, and effectively stop Hitler’s army before winning France back into the hands of its citizens.
