## Description

Dutton The Forgotten 500: The Untold Story of the Men Who Risked All for the Greatest Rescue Mission of World War II : Freeman, Gregory A: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: This is an amazing story told in a riveting, narrative style that makes it a compelling read for a variety of readers. While interested in history, my wife normally finds non-fiction books tedious to get through--but she blew through this book in no time and felt it was one of the best she had ever read. I can't do much better than that when it comes to a recommendation. Great for anyone interested in the Second World War, particularly the less-talked-about theater of the Mediterranean and the partisan situation in Yugoslavia.
Review: J'ai découvert un événement peu/pas connu. L'attitude des alliés vis à vis des partisans ou résistants yougoslaves est survolée mais n'est pas le but du livre. En revanche les mouvements de soutien au départ des Etats Unis dans l'immédiate après guerre est une découverte. Mais il reste encore tant de choses à découvrir sur cette époque. Anecdotique.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 28 September 2020*

I was amazed at what the Allies did to retrieve the downed, wounded airmen in the Czech region and further amazed at the openheartedness of the friends of the Allies, the townspeople, and how the Partisans were not on our side and really helped to bring in Communism in the region. It was the Chetniks and Mihailovich who were our real Allies there. Tremendous and detailed and thoroughly readable. It was disheartening to hear how the British did not want to help and it was an American effort to get the downed airmen out. The downed airmen who were saved and airlifted out even threw their boots and coats out of the aircraft for the townspeople to wear. Good and fair Americans to the end.
