Summary "This book introduces an English-speaking public to the life of Madeleine Riffaud - one of the last living leaders of the French Resistance. It considers the nature of the rebel hero in France's founding historical narratives (revolution, insurrection, resistance) while asking what contributions such a hero might make to debates on national identity today."--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Riffaud, Madeleine SUBJECT Riffaud, Madeleine fast Subject World War, 1939-1945 -- Underground movements -- France -- Paris World War, 1939-1945 -- Personal narratives, French Guerrillas -- France -- Paris -- Biography Memory -- France Guerrillas Memory War -- Underground movements SUBJECT Paris (France) -- History -- 1940-1944. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85098063 Subject France France -- Paris Genre/Form Electronic books Biographies History Personal narratives Biographies.
