Fighting France: from Dunkerque
to Belfort
by Edith Wharton (1862-1937)
American novelist Edith Wharton was living in
Paris when World War I broke out in 1914. She
obtained permission to visit sites behind the
lines, including hospitals, ravaged villages, and
trenches. Fighting France records her travels
along the front in 1914 and 1915, and celebrates the indomitable spirit
of the French people.
