About Ronald C. Rosbottom

Praise
Ron Rosbottom brings his demonstrated mastery of the German occupation of France, plus decades as a college professor, to vividly revise our understanding of the French resistance, and how dependent it was upon the energy and moral courage of very young women and men.– Joseph J. Ellis, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Dialogue: The Founders and Us
In Sudden Courage, Ronald Rosbottom masterfully explores the crucial role played by the young people of France, many still in their teens, resisting the Nazis during World War II. The book’s many indomitable heroes and heroines- who include the most popular child actor in France and a blind Paris schoolboy who led a major underground student group- displayed a passion, energy, and moral courage that helped energize the French Resistance and save their country’s soul and honor.- Lynne Olson, author of Madame Fourcade’s Secret War
