Author Martin Dugard, Taking Paris: The Epic Battle for the City of Lights

Join Robert Child for a conversation with author Martin Dugard He is the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of the “Killing” series with Bill O'Reilly. On the show we discuss his new book, Taking Paris, set in WWII when Paris fell into German hands. As the Nazis ruthlessly crushed all opposition, a patriotic band of Parisians known as the Resistance secretly rose to fight back. But these young men and women could not do it alone. Over 120,000 Parisians died under German occupation. Countless more were tortured in the city's Gestapo prisons and sent to death camps. The longer the Nazis held the city, the greater the danger its citizens faced.
