Summary of this Book...
The authors take a comprehensive look at what the German occupation of France did the French wine industry. It didn't help that the early 1940's were poor years for weather which also hurt the crops.
This type of Book is good for...
those who enjoy looking at history through a different glass.
I especially liked...
the style the book was written in. There are several short vignettes of French families and how they were effected by the German occupation. It's easy to read, almost conversational which made the book a pleasure to read.
I didn't like...
I enjoyed the book. There was nothing I didn't care for.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Read more about wine and about the history of French winemaking.
This Book made me feel...
like I saw a different aspect of World War II from a more personal viewpoint.
The author of this Book...
The authors are Don & Petie Kladstrup. They have a wonderful storytelling style that will suck the reader in.
I recommend this Book because...
it offers a fascinating historical view of the French during World War II.
Further Comments...
A gripping story that helped provide me with background information for my play, "War and Wine," and my short story, "The Eagle's Nest." Both of which can be found in my Short Story Folder in my Port here on WDC.
