Defeat & Beyond - An Anthology of French Wartime Writing (1940-1945)

Germaine Bree & George Bernauer

First Edition Published 1970

In this compelling self-portrait of occupied France from 1940-1945, the writings of Frenchmen bring to life not only the tormenting decision to resist or collaborate with the Nazi government, but also the highly variegated nature of daily life in a defeated nation.  The authors have arranged and translated writings of Aragon, Celine, Camus and others effectively re-creating the intellectual and emotional climate of the times.
