As the First World War rages amid the mud and craters of the Western Front, an even more deadly struggle is playing out in the air above. Early flying machines are pushed to their limits in a desperate struggle for mastery of the skies--the world's first aerial conflict, and one in which a combatant can count his life expectancy in weeks. The pressure of this terrible battle forges a strong bond between two men, the crew of a French reconnaissance plane--but can it survive the discovery that they are both in love with the same woman?

Army of shadows by

Book
)
112 editions published between 1943 and 2017 in 6 languages and held by 662 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Originally published in Algiers in 1943, Joseph Kessel’s Army of Shadows is one of the first books to have been written about the French Resistance. Now available in paperback, Contra Mundum Press is proud to present the first new translation in over 70 years, and the first edition since Jean-Pierre Melville’s iconic 1969 film. “What, then, when it comes to recounting the story of France, an obscure, secret France, which is new to its friends, its enemies, and new especially to itself? France no longer has bread, wine, fire. But mainly it no longer has any laws. Civil disobedience, individual or organized rebellion, have become duties to the fatherland. The national hero is the clandestine man, the outlaw. Nothing about the order imposed by the enemy and by the Marshal is valid. Nothing counts. Nothing is true any more. One changes home, name, every day. Officials and police officers are helping insurgents. One finds accomplices even in ministries. Prisons, getaways, tortures, bombings, scuffles. One dies and kills as if it’s natural. France lives, bleeds, in all its depths. It is toward the shadow that its true and unknown face is turned. In the catacombs of revolt, people create their own light and find their own law. Never has France waged a nobler and more beautiful war than in the basements where it prints its free newspapers, in its nocturnal lands, and in its secret coves where it received its free friends and from where its children set out, in torture cells where, despite tongs, red-hot pins, and crushed bones, the French died as free men.” --
