WINE AND WAR

The book is WINE AND WAR, and the authors are Don and Petie Kladstrup. Based on extensive research and numerous personal interviews, the authors have fashioned a highly readable story about the French wine industry during the German occupation of World War II. They use personal narratives throughout the book, weaving them with historical events and little known facts. I was sorry when the book ended. So then I read the epilogue. And then the glossary. And finally the footnotes. Someday I'll read the whole thing again.
