The Old Fellow's War

Product Description

In 1943, at the age of sixteen, Edmond Nyst joined the Maquis, the fighting force of the French Resistance. He fought in several battles against the Germans, witnessed many atrocities and was in Oradour-sur-Glane only days after the Germans had executed every man, woman and child in the town and set fire to the place.
In The Old Fellow's War, Edmond Nyst vividly recounts these stories as well as his war efforts in New Guinea, Borneo and Timor and his officer training in Australia, where he finally settled to become a barrister of the Supreme Court of Queensland and the High Court of Australia.
