"Sir Winston Churchill is often referred to as the greatest Briton and is certainly one of the most important and central figures of the 20th century. Containing both his many pitfalls and triumphs, this graphic biography follows Churchill's upbringing, through his military exploits in World War I and beyond. Best known for his role in the World War II, Churchill presents the Prime Minister's part in this world-changing conflict and how his handling of it turned him into a political icon. Leading Churchill historian Andrew Roberts contributes additional insight in the foreword and historian Franðcois Kersaudy provides a new English-language introduction to provide greater background and supplementary knowledge. Churchill is a unique depiction of the life of Winston Churchill that places his story in the context of the times while enabling the reader to truly visualize the key moments in his life and career."--Provided by publisher.

Francine R. is arrested with her sister by the Gestapo on April 6, 1944, for the resistance actions of their brother. From there, they left in a convoy of women and were then separated. Throughout Francine's journey, she was spared nothing: beatings as soon as she was arrested by the Gestapo, continuous humiliations, train rides in a cattle car, being greeted by wolf dogs on the platform of the concentration camp station, medical experiments, stripping the dead, looting the living, forced labor... But throughout she maintained the hope of getting out of this hell alive to find her sister. Francine told Boris Golzio her story in detail in a long interview. The author decided to transcribe these words in a graphic novel where the text is composed only by Francine's voice, in her own language, which was raw, and made of hesitations, repetitions and tremors, to respect the ontological truth of her words and to give the best possible account of the life of this woman. Francine R. was but one Resistance fighter deported, among thousands of others, but whose voice is unique and must be saved from oblivion.
