A View of Alsace
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As an American living in Alsace, France, I am interested in how WWII affected this area of hot dispute. Tomi Ungerer's memoir is informative concerning the Nazi occupation, and his ability to paint a vivid picture of Alsace, gives the reader a wonderful introduction to this unique area. His pictoral display, which ranges from his own childhood artwork to advertisements and newspaper clippings, brings that period of history to life. This book is a quick read because of his use of illustrations in telling his story. I highly recommend this book to others that want to learn more about WWII and the unique Alsatian culture.
