How he organized these wretched bands into an effective organization, sharing with them their raw, uncomfortable, dangerous life and breathless escapes, leading them on hazardous sabotage expeditions until, by the time of liberation, they had inflicted formidable damage on the Germans, and how in the process he himself became a leader and cunning man of action, is the substance of Captain Millar's remarkable first-hand report. Millar's role is stated but never strutted. His account is studded with more obviously fascinating figures—like Paincheau, the French leader who organized his maquis on big U.S. racketeering lines, with fleets of stolen automobiles and motorcycles. But if Millar organized as well as he writes, France has reason to be grateful to him.
* The reason for Author Millar's undisclosed unhappiness is the subject of his next book, Horned Pigeon, which his publishers announce will appear shortly.
