Resistance is what 'saves' European societies from an otherwise chequered record of collaboration on the part of their economic, political, cultural and religious elites. Opposition took pride of place as a legitimizing device in the post-war order and has since become an indelible part of the collective consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet there is one exception to this trend among previously occupied territories: the British Channel Islands. Collective identity construction in the islands still relies on the notion of 'orderly and correct relations' with the Germans, while talk of 'resistance' earns raised eyebrows. The general attitude to the many witnesses of conscience who existed in the islands remains ambiguous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book conversely and expertly argues that there was in fact resistance against the Germans in the Channel Islands and is the first text to fully explore the complex relationship that existed between the Germans and the people of the only part of the British Isles to experience occupation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGilly Carr is Senior Lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Cambridge, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePaul Sanders is Associate Professor at NEOMA Business School in Reims, France. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLouise Willmot is Principal Lecturer in History at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 07, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47520637976797,"sku":"9781472536242","price":97.09,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/zfz7tK_pSK9781472536242.webp?v=1772245371","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/protest-defiance-and-resistance-in-the-channel-islands-german-occupation-1940-45-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
