The Moon Is Down is a 1942 novel about the military occupation of a small town in Northern Europe by an unnamed army. Steinbeck wrote it as propaganda intended to fuel resistance movements in occupied countries during World War II. John Ernst Steinbeck (1902-1968) was an American writer and novelist. He won the 1962 Nobel Prize in Literature \"for his realistic and imaginative writings, combining as they do sympathetic humor and keen social perception.\" One of the most widely read authors of the 20th century, he was also an independent journalist and war correspondent during World War II and the Vietnam War.
