Paper Bullets by Jeffrey H. Jackson

When the Channel Islands were taken over by the Nazis two female artists living in Jersey decided to take on the Nazis headfirst by waging their own war of homemade propaganda and art. It was brave, maybe foolish and it created a great deal of angst for the German command. The author tells this story as if he too couldn't believe how long they kept this up before they were captured and imprisoned. These two women, Lucy Schwob and Suzanne Malherbe told everyone they were sisters but kept a much more dangerous secret - they were longtime lovers. Held in prison they were separated but still managed to communicate in unusual ways. It is an amazing story of the power of underground movement and more of WWII's unsung heroines. It is easy to read and includes photographs throughout to help illustrate just how avant-garde they were.  4 stars
