Demetz was a boy living in Prague then, and here he joins his objective chronicle of the city under Nazi control with his personal memories of that period, expertly interweaving a superb account of the German authorities' diplomatic, financial, and military machinations with a brilliant description of Prague's evolving resistance and underground opposition. The result is a complex, continually surprising book filled with rare human detail and warmth, the gripping story of a great city meeting the dual challenge of occupation and of war.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeter Demetz\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Air Show at Brescia, 1909\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 2002) and \u003ci\u003ePrague in Black and Gold\u003c\/i\u003e (H\u0026amp;W, 1997).
