Avenue of Spies by Alex Kerhsaw

          Alex Kershaw did not disappoint with this book. I loved the way he has you jump right in and caught in the story in the first sentence, "A shell exploded."  I've read many books on Nazi Germany but this was a great story about a family caught up and in the Resistance.

          Sumner Jackson and his wife Toquette were right in the thick of evil, living on Avenue Foch, a fancy area in Paris.  When the SS came through with their wave of terror, they took over Avenue Foch, all except an apartment belonging to the Jacksons.  Sumner, Toquette and their son Phillip lived amongst the most vile soldiers for years, all while helping the Resistance right under their nose!  Unfortunately, they were caught and sent to prison camps. I won't give away the ending, but it was excellent.


          The Jacksons are heroes of the war that I'd never known about. There are probably thousands of them out there, just waiting for their story to be told.  If you are looking for an action packed story, please read this book!
