Eight days later, France accepted a humiliating defeat and foreign occupation. Subsequently, an eerie sense of normalcy settled over the City of Light. Many Parisians keenly adapted themselves to the situation-even allied themselves with their Nazi overlords. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e At the same time, amidst this darkening gloom of German ruthlessness, shortages, and curfews, a resistance arose. Parisians of all stripes -- Jews, immigrants, adolescents, communists, rightists, cultural icons such as Colette, de Beauvoir, Camus and Sartre, as well as police officers, teachers, students, and store owners -- rallied around a little known French military officer, Charles de Gaulle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eWhen Paris Went Dark\u003c\/i\u003e evokes with stunning precision the detail of daily life in a city under occupation, and the brave people who fought against the darkness. Relying on a range of resources -- memoirs, diaries, letters, archives, interviews, personal histories, flyers and posters, fiction, photographs, film and historical studies -- Rosbottom has forged a groundbreaking book that will forever influence how we understand those dark years in the City of Light.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Back Bay Books","offers":[{"title":"When Paris Went Dark: The City of Light Under German Occupation, 1940-1944 | Ronald C Rosbottom | Paperback | 9780316217439 | Used: Good | Back Stacks F 1744113","offer_id":48199549157528,"sku":"1744113","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81r0JqoCMHL.jpg?v=1772560989","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/when-paris-went-dark-the-city-of-light-under-german-occupation-1940-1944","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
