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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\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\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349764776240,"sku":"BDbdav","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/bdav-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776214758","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-bdav","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
