"FREEDOM IS IN PERIL" was the real-life sequel to the WWII-era "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" poster—given modern politics, this slogan rings truer than ever. The slogan "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" was created by the British government in 1939 as a way to boost morale in cities that were constantly threatened by air raids. In the last few years, it has become a cultural landmark, repeatedly referenced and endlessly copied. Originally, however, the poster bearing that phrase was followed by a second, more aggressive iteration which read, "FREEDOM IS IN PERIL – DEFEND IT WITH ALL YOUR MIGHT." In these uncertain times, full of political unrest, that statement rings truer than ever. This flexibound journal—bearing that inspirational battle cry on a stirring blue cover and with an elastic band closure—will appeal to everyone who wants to mark themselves as a defender of the things in which they believe.

During World War II many escape-line organizations contributed to the Allied cause by funneling hundreds of servicemen trapped behind enemy lines out of occupied Europe. As the Germans tightened their noose around the escape lines and infiltrated them, the risk of discovery only grew for the servicemen who, in ever-increasing numbers, needed safe passage across the Pyrenees. In early 1944 two important escape-line organizations operated in Toulouse in southwestern France, handing over many fugitives to French passeur Jean-Louis Bazerque (“Charbonnier”). Along with several of his successful missions, Charbonnier’s only failure as a passeur is recounted in gripping detail in So Close to Freedom. This riveting story recounts how Charbonnier tried to guide a large group of fugitives—most of them downed Allied airmen, along with a French priest, two doctors, a Belgian Olympic skater, and others—to freedom across the Pyrenees. Tragically, they were discovered by German mountain troopers just shy of the Spanish border. Jean-Luc E. Cartron offers the first detailed account of what happened, showing how Charbonnier operated, his ties with “the Françoise” (previously “Pat O’Leary”) escape-line organization, and how the group was betrayed and by whom. So Close to Freedom sheds light not only on the complex and precarious work of escape lines but also on the concrete, nerve-racking experiences of the airmen and those helping them. It shows the desperation of all those seeking passage to Spain, the myriad dangers they faced, and the lengths they would go to in order to survive.
