It was Chevrillon and her team who coded many of the telegrams in Is Paris Burning? Until now  little has been published about this unglamorous but vital aspect of the French Resistance. Chevrillons memoir gives abundant detail about what daily life was like for the French elite during the German occupation. Her father  a scholar and literary critic who had been raised by his celebrated uncle  philosopher-historian Hippolyte Taine  put her in contact with the upper circles of French culture. Her mother  who was from a large  assimilated Jewish family  gave her firsthand knowledge of the persecution of French Jews. Her story vividly portrays the wartime experience of private lives and public events  including the tedious backroom work of the Resistance and four months she spent captive in Pariss dreaded Fresnes prison.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45275480621109,"sku":"ByrdShop_0890966281","price":242.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780890966280.jpg?v=1780508106","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/code-name-christiane-clouet-a-woman-in-the-french-resistance-9780890966280","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
