520 2  Brings to life the true story of an American doctor and 
       his family in Paris, and his heroic espionage efforts 
       during World War II. Exclusive Avenue Foch was Paris's 
       hotbed of spies, secret police, informers, and Vichy 
       collaborators. So when the couple at number 11-- American 
       physician Sumner Jackson and his Swiss-born wife Toquette-
       - joined the French Resistance, they knew the stakes were 
       extraordinarily high. They would be risking not only their
       own lives but that of their only child, twelve-year-old 
       Phillip. There was no more dangerous place in all of 
       Occupied Europe than their street-- Nazis had commandeered
       almost every building. At number 31 was the "mad sadist" 
       Theodor Dannecker, charged with deporting French Jews to 
       concentration camps. Number 72 housed the Parisian 
       headquarters of the Gestapo. As their Nazi neighbors 
       rounded up Jews and ruthlessly destroyed all opposition, 
       the Jacksons stepped up their own private war against 
       Hitler. From the American Hospital, Sumner smuggled fallen
       Allied crewmen out of France. And Toquette agreed to allow
       the Goélette network of the Resistance to use their home 
       as a drop box for vital information en route to Britain. 
       As D-Day neared, the noose began to tighten; when the 
       family's secret was finally discovered, they were sent on 
       a journey into the black heart of the war-torn continent 
       from which there was little chance of return. Drawing upon
       a wealth of primary source material and extensive 
       interviews with Phillip Jackson, Alex Kershaw re-creates 
       the City of Light during its darkest days.--Adapted from 
       book jacket.
