Give Terry a Bone

Babes van Dillen Clinton was born in Indonesia of Dutch parents. She grew up in Holland and was educated in The Hague and Switzerland. The realities of World War II ended her protected and privledged enviroment. When Holland was invaded by the Nazis in 1940, she and her husband, Paul van Dillen, joined forces with the underground Resistance movement. Her book answers the question of what happened to that small country with the windmills. What did the Dutch do to defy the Nazis during the war? How did they help the Allies? In an honest way she describes the daily life as they worked with the Food Distribution program. While the V-2 rockets were launched behind their home, and their country was bombed, they tried to stay alive. In 1944 they were asked to cross enemy lines in order to alert the Allies and to bring food supplies back to the starving Dutch people. Her experience is the background for this book filled with danger, determination and love. For years Babes was New York correspondent for Het Brabants Neiuwsblad in Breda. She also wrote articles for the San Mateo Times. After her husband died, she was left with her two sons, who now have their own families. In 1969 she married J. Hart Clinton, and together they live happily in San Mateo, California. --- from book's cover.
