A strange wee book, not sure if its a memoir with history thrown in or visa versa. Its premise is the occupation of France during the two World Wars. World War One, gets 41 pages so it concentrates on WWII.
It's strange in part that parts of the supposed history are taken from novels written about the time.
Cobb apparently rejected that he was a Marxist but its hard to discern this from the text.
The preface is outstanding, the cover photograph is brilliant. But, a strange wee book.
