{"product_id":"unarmed-against-hitler-jacques-semelin-9780275939601","title":"Unarmed Against Hitler: Civilian Resistance in Europe, 1939-1943","description":"\u003cp\u003eResistance in German-occupied Europe is generally understood as insurrectional violence. However, as soon as the war broke out, thousands of people engaged in civil disobedience---manifested through strikes, demonstrations, and the activities of medical organizations, courts of law, and churches. Jacques Semelin gathers evidence for the untold story of a movement that took place in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, and Denmark as well as Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Germany itself. A widespread campaign contested authority and paved the way for later armed resistance and the eventual defeat of the Nazis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis study goes beyond historical interest. It is ethical in scope and deals with civilian strategy at large. To what extent is society prepared to face aggression, whether external or internal? As such, it is of value not only to military historians and other students of World War II, but it provides thoughtful approaches for political scientists and others concerned with contemporary issues of violence and civil disobedience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacques Semelin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 027593960X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780275939601\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Jacques Semelin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992909873407,"sku":"9780275939601","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_278ad759-dd4e-4b75-95a2-a8519f3c617c.jpg?v=1683321482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unarmed-against-hitler-jacques-semelin-9780275939601","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
