“A Nazi resistance story like none you’ve ever heard.” —Hampton Sides, author of In the Kingdom of Ice
In 1940, on the German-occupied island of Jersey, two women waged a daring anti-Nazi campaign. Lucy Schwob and Suzanne Malherbe (better remembered today by their noms de plume, Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore) drew on their skills as Parisian avant-garde artists to write and distribute “paper bullets”—wicked insults against Hitler, calls to rebel, and subversive fictional dialogues that demoralized the Nazi troops. The untold true story of this courageous couple is an inspiring lesson about love and resistance.
