Can anyone recommend some books that detail the actions of the French Resistance groups in France during WW2? I am interested in actions both in occupied France and Vichy France. Also, can someone point me to sources that can tell me how these resistance cells were organized? Were they just random acts by a disgruntled population or were there organized cells that carried out operations under some direction from somewhere?

I realize that the questions are kind of vague. I have always heard about the french resistance in WW2 and what they did. I have read some anecdotal accounts of the actions of the resistance in other books, but they are only mentioned in passing. I would like to learn more about what the French Resistance did in WW2.

This might be difficult to find, but worth the effort:

The French Resistance 1940-1944. Frida Knight. Lawerence and Wishart. London. 1975 SBN 85315 331 0 (hardback) SBN 85315 335 3 (paperback)

In spite of the title, it covers the pro and anti-Fascist movements in France from 1934 to 1945. Well documented. A good bibliography. A good read.
