Most obeyed their German conquerors—One Belgian girl fought back. Night and Fog is the inspiring story of Comète, the unbreakable underground line of WWII. Nearly 800 Allied fliers were saved by these Belgian and French patriots who risked their lives to smuggle the airmen out of enemy territory. This historical novel brings to life the key figures in the underground as well as their Nazi adversaries.
Comète partisans were continually hunted by the Gestapo and other well-trained German intelligence officers. The line suffered infiltrations by traitors and German agents. Captured members were tortured, murdered or sent to the Nazi death camps, yet they managed to keep the line going through five years of war—the only major underground line to have done so. D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review, summed it up this way: “Night and Fog is a vivid story of a lesser-covered aspect of World War II that brings people and their wartime dilemmas to life. It's a novel that should be part of any World War II history reading list or collection.”
She went on to say: “The attention to detail and intersecting scenarios that Rizzo takes the time to explore in his characters and settings will especially delight historical fiction readers seeking authenticity and facts from their stories."
