Synopsis

Hope, resilience, and a firsthand account from the road to captivity

This is a first‑hand memoir by Georges Desson, an engineer whose eleven months in German custody are told with clarity and humanity. It records the moment war changes lives, from the rush of mobilization to life as a prisoner, all seen through the eyes of a steady, hopeful narrator. In these pages, you’ll follow Desson’s journey across occupied Europe, his observations of people left free and those who suffered, and the everyday moments that show strength in the face of hardship. The book focuses on character, restraint, and the pursuit of truth amid chaos, making sense of a harrowing experience without sensationalism.

• Personal courage and practical problem‑solving under pressure
• Detailed, day‑by‑day insights into captivity and wartime life
• Observations about the local people, movements, and the occupation
• A narrator who stresses truth and fairness while bearing witness

Ideal for readers of wartime memoirs and historical testimonies who want a clear, humane view of life behind enemy lines. If you’re drawn to resilience in crisis and first‑person history, this edition offers a compelling portrait of courage under occupation.
