I never get tired of reading about people sticking it to the Nazis. Who's with me? One of the greatest manifestations of human evil in modern history--who doesn't love to see these guys lose? In his book set in Paris during the Nazi occupation, Alex Kershaw shows the dark side of Naziism (with, admittedly, some brighter spots among the Germans). He tells the story of Sumner Jackson, an American doctor whose heroism during the war, assisting the Allies, rescuing Jews, and aiding the Resistance should be remembered.In Avenue of Spies: A True Story of Terror, Espionage, and One American Family's Heroic Resistance in Nazi-Occupied Paris, we meet Dr. Jackson. After heroically serving in the Great War (WW1), he and his Swiss wife settle in Paris, where he is director of the American hospital. They live on Avenue Foch, home to many elites from France, Europe, and around the world. As the Nazi occupation moves in, the Germans descend on Avenue Foch, taking over the mansions of the wealthy, most of whom have fled. So the Jacksons end up as neighbors to the Germans, included the headquarters of the SS.Kershaw paints a bleak picture of the French tendency to lay down and let the Gerrmans take over. They occupied France without having to fire a shot. Thankfully, many Germans were francophiles, enamored with Paris. As a result, the famous sites and structures of the city were spared. Inevitably, however, the Jacksons were not spared. Allowing their apartment to be used by the resistance as a safe house to exchange information and harbor fugitives, the occupiers finally saw through their cover. They were sent to concentration camps, experiencing the worst horrors of the war first hand. Dr. Jackson's wife, Toquette, saw in a guard named Kratz "the embodiment of Nazism, utterly involved, sociopathic, sadistic, taking perverse pleasure in women's terror," as he gloried in telling the women and the following day "everyone will go on the transport to Germany. . . all to die . . . all to die."One thing that probably shouldn't have surprised me but did is the amount of time it took for the Allies to liberate Paris. I guess in my mind, after D-day the war was pretty much over. But it was a couple of months after D-day that Paris was liberated, and several months beyond that that the German's surrendered. In the meantime, people like the Jacksons suffered in camps, and the Germans became even more sadistic, want to eliminate evidence of the war crimes committed in these camps.Not only did Jackson serve heroically in Paris, treating people in the American hospital even as the Germans invaded, he assisted Jews, downed Allied pilots, and other enemies of the Germans by helping them to escape. In the concentration camp, he continued to treat patients, at risk of his own health. He did not survive when his prisoner transport ship was shot. Thankfully his son lived to tell the tale, and thankfully Kershaw has brought the tale to life in such a compelling way.Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!
Alex Kershaw in his latest book Avenue of Spies has lifted a hazy veil from history's eyes. Behind this curtain he has revealed the reality of Paris, France being occupied by Nazi German during WW2. The scenes and secrets of F Avenue in Paris are viewed before and after Nazie power by telling the reader a true story of the Jackson family; American physician, Sumner, Swiss born wife, Toquette and 12 year old son Phillip.Avenue of Spies takes the reader into a time tunnel of courage that shakes off fear and steps into heroes, while Nazi bullies betray not only their leader, Hitler but become the worst kind of cowards by torturing and killing men, women and children so they can conquer a city for their own narcissistic pleasures.Each detail of the temporary siege is researched by Alex Kershaw with integrity and personal interviews. As the story of the siege unfolds the reader becomes closely acquainted with not only the many tormentors of cruelty but the many of courage of the French Resistance and how they gave there"all" even through torture to protect those in their care.From beginning to end, the story holds the reader's thoughtful attention with the smallest of details to what the people ate, decorated their rooms, to the terror in their bravery even in the camps of cruelty.If one wants to experience the reality of history one needs only to read Alex Kershaw.To me, personally, it seemed like a guide book on how -Americans- should and could conduct one's self with pride that we had done all we could to defeat the enemy that might occupy us.
Dr Sumner Jackson, an American surgeon did what most would not during the Nazi occupation of France, specifically Paris. Along with his wife Toquette, he oversaw the saving of lives at the American hospital in Paris during WWII. Her recruitment by the French Resistance community along with Dr Jackson managed to save the lives of downed allied flyers and then helped them return to England by clandestine channels without discovery. Then, tragedy strikes. Seen through the heroism of this family and its co-conspirators, the truth of the brutality and death by the SS and its collaborators are gruesomely detailed. Alex Kershaw's research and writing provide intimate character development giving the reader the sense that they know each of them well. Many books have been written about the dark history of this period but Kershaw's focusing on one family's involvement, heroism and tragedy bring to light more clearly the realities of war. A must read for all, especially the "Deniers!"
