Wine and war : the French, the Nazis, and the battle for France's greatest treasure

Wine & War (other title)

Kladstrup, Don. (Author). Kladstrup, Petie (Added Author).

Summary: In 1940, France fell to the Nazis, and the German army almost immediately began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, wine makers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their heroism has remained largely unknown -- until now. Wine and War tells the alternately thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious and often daring measures to save their finest and most precious crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them.
