Dismissed as just another war time atrocity, the massacre of innocents at Oradour was another story in World War II journals. In the early 80's, while doing a favor for a colleague, the author discovers, to his detriment that the massacre was more than another atrocity by the Germans; that It included partisans and other players along with a fortune in gold. After being stopped by French Customs, his story truly began. Imprisoned for 21 months when he refused to disclose the names of his colleagues; he undergoes interrogations that leave him forever changed. He then begins to research the players [past and present] in this horrific event and uncovers a great number of duplicitous individuals. A real-life murder mystery stretching from World War II to the 1980s. Book is in Fine condition with tight binding and crisp, clean pages; 165 pages; former owner's signature on front flyleaf; dust jacket is in near fine condition with slight rubbing on back side; Size: 8 Vo.
