Lucie Aubrac (1912-2007), of Catholic and peasant background, was teaching history in a Lyon girls' school and newly married to Raymond, a Jewish engineer, when World War II broke out and divided France. The couple, living in the Vichy zone, soon joined the Resistance movement in opposition to the Nazis and their collaborators. Outwitting the Gestapo is Lucie's harrowing account of her participation in the Resistance: of the months when, though pregnant, she planned and took part in raids to free comrades—including her husband, under Nazi death sentence—from the prisons of Klaus Barbie, the infamous Butcher of Lyon. Her book is also the basis for the 1997 French movie, Lucie Aubrac, which was released in the United States in 1999.

Que fut réellement la Résistance au temps de l''occupation allemande ? Comment fut-elle vécue, au jour le jour, par ces hommes et ces femmes que réunissait un même refus de la défaite et de la servitude ? Comment parvinrent-ils à créer des réseaux actifs, à diffuser une presse clandestine, à entreprendre des actions militaires ? Au-delà des polémiques et des légendes, c''est la quotidienneté d''un combat que raconte ici Lucie Aubrac. Sur un ton direct, avec clarté et patience, elle répond aux questions de ses propres petits-enfants, mais aussi à celles des milliers d''écoliers ou lycéens qu''elle rencontre chaque année.
