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.
