"This book looks for the first time at the ways in which the Allies and the French, liberators and liberated, met and understood each other in the course of the liberation of France. Living with the Liberators brings together Anglo-American and French narratives of the Liberation, and shows how people 'on the ground', in particular areas of France, lived through these events together."--Jacket.
