Built in 1934, Andre Citroen's legendary car had a rich and stunning career due to the events which plunged the world into war five years later. Very much in spite of itself, the "Traction" (front wheel drive) changed sides and the Germans, who had a particular taste for it, used them all throughout Europe. Thousands of them joined the French Army during the Phoney War then went through the trials and tribulations of war.
Then it was the Liberation of France, the time of the Maquis, white stars and the three letters "FFI" which proliferated all over the bodywork. By the end of 1942 it was once again serving under French colours, this time engaged successfully in the Tunisian Campaign, appearing there in strange armoured versions. Citroen's marvel became one of the symbols of France's rebirth.
A complete visual epic using exceptional documentation: 250 period photos, plus more than 25 colour profiles showing authentic military markings. The book all Citroen Traction Avant buffs and all amateurs of automobile and military history have been waiting for.
