Sinossi

Justin Harvey Smith's "The War with Mexico" (Vol. 1 & 2) offers an exhaustive examination of the pivotal conflict between the United States and Mexico during the mid-19th century. Written in a narrative style that combines meticulous research with engaging prose, Smith captures the political, social, and military dimensions of the war, while situating it within the broader context of Manifest Destiny and U.S. expansionism. The two volumes delve into key battles, military strategies, and the ramifications for both countries, providing a nuanced understanding of this often contentious episode in American history. Justin Harvey Smith, an accomplished historian and educator, was deeply influenced by the tumultuous context of his own era, marked by debates over imperialism and national identity. His scholarship reflects a commitment to highlighting lesser-known perspectives of the conflict, including the voices of soldiers and civilians affected by the war. Smith's extensive background in history sharpens his analyses, making his work a critical resource in understanding the complexities of American-Mexican relations. Recommended for historians and casual readers alike, "The War with Mexico" serves as a foundational text for understanding the consequences of military conflict and territorial expansion. Smith's thorough documentation and insightful commentary make this work essential for anyone interested in the intricacies of American history, as well as the societal shifts stemming from this monumental war.

    Andrée Griotteray was nineteen when the Germans invaded France and occupied Paris, where she worked as a clerk in the passport office. When her younger brother, Alain, created a resistance network named Orion, Andrée joined his efforts, secretly typing up and printing copies of an underground newspaper, and stealing ID cards which allowed scores of Jewish citizens to escape persecution. 
     
     
     
    Charming and pretty, Andrée nimbly avoided the unwanted attentions of German officers, even as she secretly began working as an undercover courier. Displaying fearlessness in the face of immense pressure, she traveled throughout the county delivering vital intelligence destined for France's allies—until the day she was betrayed and arrested. Throughout her ordeal, Andrée stayed composed, refusing to inform on her comrades. Before she was set free, she even duped her interrogators into revealing who had betrayed Orion, and continued her underground activities until France's liberation. 
     
     
     
    Weaving in diary entries, letters, and conversations, Andrée's daughter, Francelle, brings a uniquely personal slant to her mother's story. The Paris Girl reveals the narrow escapes and moments of terror, the daily acts of bravery and defiance, and the extraordinary courage displayed by Andrée and so many of her contemporaries, that helped turned the tide of war.
