Descriere completă

Of the thousands of people who escaped through the Pyrenees during World War II at least one hundred owe their lives to a daring scheme that Belgian Charles Schepens masterminded in Mendive a remote Basque village near the French-Spanish border. The story of this near-miraculous resistance effort an epic undertaking carried out in plain view of the Nazis is recounted in full for the first time in The Surgeon and the Shepherd an incredible true tale of wartime heroism.In 1942 in coordination with the Belgian resistance Schepens stage-managed a highly secret information and evacuation service through the counterfeit operation of a back-country lumbering enterprise. This book traces Schepensa's gradual transformation from an apolitical young ophthalmologist into double agent ai??Jacques PA(c)rotai?? and his emergence in the postwar period as a modern folk hero to the residents of Mendive. Woven into the account are the stories of a remarkable international cast of characters most notably the Basque shepherd Jean Sarochar regarded as a local misfit with whom Schepens formed his most unlikely partnership and an enduring friendship.Part biography part spy tale part cultural study The Surgeon and the Shepherd is based on more than ten years of oral history research. The saga of a Belgian ai??first resisterai?? who by posing as a collaborator successfully duped both the Germans and the local French Basque population it offers a powerful and illuminating picture of moral and physical courage.
