German tanks are rolling toward Moscow. Stalin has issued a decree- All partisan operatives are to strike behind enemy lines-from Kiev to Brittany.

As the occupation tightens, Casson is drawn into an ill-fated mission- running guns to combat units of the French Communist Party. Reprisals are brutal. At last the real resistance has begun.i> Red Gold/i> masterfully re-creates the shadow world of French resistance in the darkest days of World War II.
