Partisans were a vital, but often overlooked, part of the defeat of Nazi Germany and its Axis allies during World War II. In every occupied country, Partisan groups waged anti-fascist guerrilla war against the Nazi invaders, carrying out raids, ambushes, and widespread sabotage. Partisans highlights different aspects of this struggle with a variety of art styles and stories ranging from personal accounts to historical overviews of Partisans in various countries, including Holland, Hungary, France, Yugoslavia, and the Soviet Union. A valuable contribution to the history of Partisan anti-fascist resistance. — Gord Hill, author of The Antifa Comic Book
