The Resistance

Book Description

True to form, Douglas Bond delivers yet another historical novel sure to capture the hearts and imaginations of both the young and the old.

Readers will thrill at the high-stakes, fast-paced cat and mouse game that ensues among downed Army Air Corps pilot Eli Evans, navigator Charlie Tucker, and the Waffen SS. The timing of events and diversity among the characters kept the tension hovering at or above an 8 on a 0-10 scale. From the moment the B-17 crashes, until the invasion of Normandy; time (and pages) seemed to fly by.

Endorsements

"If you enjoy inspirational war stories, flying, intrigue, mystery, and intense anticipation, you will love THE RESISTANCE. Not only is the action non-stop, but the thoughtful dialogue throughout the tale keeps you mentally engaged on every page."
--Douglas E. Lee, Brigadier General, USA (retired), President, Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty

"Douglas Bond is a historian with unusual insight."
--Ross Pulliam, Indianapolis Star

"This was the eighteenth book written by Douglas Bond that we have read aloud with our now eight children. What a treasure to have so much literature that keeps them at rapt attention and has produced so much fruitful discussion. THE RESISTANCE has claimed an honored place in our family's history."
--James Hakim, Pastor, Hopewell ARP in Culleoka, TN

"I was young. War is bad. What Douglas Bond has written in THE RESISTANCE is very fine. Realistic? Very much so. I used to think those guys flying up there in the Army Air Corps were lucky, but they lost more men than we did on the ground."
--Alan Fothergill, World War II, veteran, 90th Infantry Division, Utah Beach, 1944
