TY - BOOK AU - Perrault,Gilles AU - Azema,Pierre TI - Paris under the occupation / SN - 9780865651111 PY - 1989/// CY - New York PB - Vendome Press, N2 - Both general readers and students of history should hail the release of this timely book. Best-selling French author Perrault provides moving personal reminiscences of his childhood in occupied Paris. The brief but eloquent narrative is accompanied by hundreds of previously unpublished photos from French and German archives, collected and cataloged by Parisian art historian Azema. Together, text and photos present a graphic portrait of everyday life, recording daily human struggles to find food and fuel, the psychological warfare waged by the occupiers, and the methods of German economic exploitation. As artists, the authors place special emphasis on the arts under the occupation and document the heroism of the writers' resistance. In sum, they show how Paris "kept alive a sense of the enemy."-- Marie Marmo Mullaney, Caldwell Coll., N.J. Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc ER -
