Fighting France: From Dunkerque to Belfort

Edith Wharton was one of the first woman writers to be allowed to visit the war zones in France. Shortly after the outbreak of the Great War in 1914, she became a highly active participant in relief efforts and an advocate for American intervention in the war in her fiction and non-fiction. This resulting collection of 6 essays, originally published as articles in Scribner's Magazine and The Saturday Evening Post, presents a fascinating and unique perspective on wartime France by one of America's great novelists.
