In 1982, Robin Mackness lost his job, his fortune, and his freedom when he discovered the truth behind the Oradour massacre. This is his story and that of the 642 French civilians who were savagely murdered on June 10, 1944. In Massacre at Oradour, a bizarre mystery of World War II is unraveled in a gripping drama of international high finance and treachery. On June 10, 1944, four days after the invasion of Normandy, an SS company rounded up all the men, women, and children of Oradour, a remote village in southwestern France, and brutally murdered all but a handful of its almost seven hundred inhabitants. Why Oradour had been singled out for destruction by the Nazis was never adequately explained and remained a mystery for forty-four years until a quirk of fate led Robin Mackness on an extraordinary search to uncover the facts behind the atrocity. In 1982, Mackness was asked to carry out an unusual favor for a colleague who was on the board of directors of a Swiss bank. He was to contact one of the bank's clients, an elderly Frenchman named Raoul, and deliver what Raoul would give him to a third party. Assured by his colleague of the legality of the transaction, Mackness agreed. The rendezvous went as planned, but when Mackness found out that he was going to be transporting a fortune in gold bullion, he insisted Raoul tell him where it came from. The last leg of Mackness's mission became a nightmare. Stopped by French customs cers near Lyon, Mackness refused to reveal the identities of his banking colleague their client and spent the following twenty two months in prison. It was in prison that he began to research the background of Raoul's extraordinary story. And now, after five years of thorough investigation, interviewing former members of the Resistance former members of the SS, Mackness is convinced he has found the answer to the secret behind the terrible massacre at Oradour.

Hard. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First American Edition (stated). 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.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. (NYRB Classics). The cantankerous & charming, Ebenezer Le Page is one of the most compe lling literary creations of the late 20th century. Eighty years-old, he has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stone speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. The book is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the 20th century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Grat War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during WWII, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island. Glossary. 400p.
