"The Grand Defiance" finished

I would recommend this book; especially if you like action and history. However, I was not left in a good mood at the end of the book. I know there can't always be happy endings.
**Spoiler Alert**
I knew that de Forge would escape and make it back to France. However, I was upset with how the French government capitulated to Germany and Hitler about the return of de Forge to the Germans. I know that France was occupied by Germany at this time. I just would have thought there would have been more resistance and ability to get de Forge to the Americans. De Forge was left to be on the run with his family. He did have an amazing escape from prison and I believe that helped morale with some French. But all in all I was disappointed with how the French handled his escape once he was out of Germany. Frizell did a great job though with suspense and action. I was continually turning the page to see what happened next on de Forge's flight.
