Synopsis
Evader is one of the most remarkable stories ever to come out of WWII. On September 5th, 1943, Denys Teare baled out of his burning Lancaster bomber over Occupied France; from this moment on Teare was an evader in the midst of the enemy. Continually thwarted in his escape attempts, he was a doubly wanted man: not only a British airman evading the occupying force, but also an active member of the French Resistance. This book tells what it was really like living in France under the Nazis, of the danger and horror before the Liberation - and of what liberation really meant when it came. This new hardback edition includes much new material which originally came under censorship, and is illustrated throughout with photographs from the author's own collection.

From Publishers Weekly
This welcome reprint of a classic WWII memoir originally published in England vividly narrates the author's harrowing experiences on the run in German-occupied France. Shot down in the fall of 1943, Teare spent a year evading the Germans and finally ended up as part of an active Resistance cell (one that included escaped Russian POWs and refugees from German work camps) before his liberation in August, 1944. In plain but effective prose, Teare pays tribute to his French helpers, all of whom risked their lives simply by being in contact with him and some of whom lost their lives for their Resistance activity. Some were genuine heroes, like the Chenu brothers. Others, like Madame Barbieri, whose quarrels with her husband nearly drove the author into flight (fake ID, accented French, hunger and all) or M. Colombo, a wheeler-dealer who faithfully supported the Resistance in every way that allowed him a generous profit, may make readers wryly smile. The threat and frequently the reality of the Germans' ruthless brutality hung over everyone every moment, and darkens the tone of this well-deserved tribute to a cross-section of French society.
