Les grandes batailles de l'histoire de France #5

Part of Editions Plein Vent's Les grandes batailles de l'histoire de France series, this fifth volume brings to life the Liberation of Paris in 1944. The cover sets the scene vividly: French resistance fighters and soldiers surround a vintage car and an Allied Sherman tank bearing the name "Romilly," with the towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral rising proudly in the background and the tricolor flag waving overhead. Vivier and Denoël deliver what looks to be a handsomely illustrated tribute to one of history's most stirring moments of freedom reclaimed.
