This welcome, if belated, translation after a gap of fifteen years reflects its considerable impact on literary and cultural studies of the Occupation of France since then….What undoubtedly accounts for much of the success of \u003ci\u003eThe French Writers’ War 1940–1953\u003c\/i\u003e is its impressive mastery of a huge amount of data on French literary production of the interwar years and the aftermath of the Occupation: publishers, literary journals and reviews, and a near exhaustive coverage of the writers themselves.” -- Nicholas Hewitt * TLS *\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe French Writers’ War\u003c\/i\u003e is an ambitious project. Sapiro has amply succeeded in providing a comprehensive study of four literary institutions, the writers who composed them, and the decisions these figures made before, during, and after the occupation…. \u003ci\u003eThe French Writers’ War \u003c\/i\u003eis an illuminating book and Sapiro deserves to be warmly thanked for her contribution.” -- Mattie Fitch * H-War, H-Net Reviews *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments        ix   Introduction        1   Part I.
