Title: Lesson In History
Review: THE FORGER by Paul WatkinsIt's a good lesson in history--how the people lived and died in Paris during the occupation through the Second World War. David Halifax, art student, went to Paris just before the war and stayed until the end of the war. He survived by becoming a master forger and helping France save some of her paintings. He worked with the Nazis and the German Embassy playing one side against the other.Meanwhile, he was observing the people around him, painting and working at staying alive. He managed to get through the war without being killed by the French resistance or the Nazis. I like this book it is an honest attempt to show how the people live, or at least survive in a war.
