The children of freedom

Recounting the true story of the author's father, who fought as a soldier during the Nazi occupation, The Children of Liberty is a moving story about love, survival, and freedom.

Jeannot, an 18-year-old, and his younger brother, Claude, flee the Nazis in war-torn France. They find refuge in Toulouse, in the south of the country, but freedom is a fleeting illusion. Determined to resist, the brothers join the 35th Brigade of the French Resistance, where they meet a group of young foreigners with diverse backgrounds, but united in their fight for freedom. Those who escaped prison now face the world's most feared enemies, with stolen weapons and the ardor of youth.

Living in extreme circumstances, these young people decide to enjoy life to the fullest: laugh, cry, share what little they had, support each other, and allow themselves to experience a great love, despite all the risks. For the human spirit cannot be killed while hope remains.

Exploring the feelings of justice, justice, and camaraderie, Jeannot and Claude will discover in the brigade everything they thought they would never find again: friends, forbidden loves, tragedy, betrayal, and hope. Moving and moving, The Sons of Liberty is based on a true story, inspired by the life of bestselling author Mark Levy's father.
