Avenue of Spies by Alex Kershaw


Chilling and powerful, this is a true story of heroism and courage during the Nazi occupation of Paris. Dr. Samuel Jackson, chief surgeon at the American Hospital of Paris and his Swiss-born wife lived at #11 Avenue Foch in Paris. As this beautiful avenue of mansions was taken over by the Nazi elite, Gestapo, and SS, the courageous doctor, along with his wife and colleagues, provided assistance and shelter to the French Resistance and Allied airmen, and ultimately paid the price. A story that should not be forgotten.
