Fighting France Summary
| That night we went up once more to the rock of Cassel. The moon was full, and as civilians are not allowed out alone after dark a staff-officer went with us to show us the view from the roof of the disused Casino on top of the rock. It was the queerest of sensations to push open a glazed door and find ourselves in a spectral painted room with soldiers dozing in the moonlight on polished floors, their kits stacked on the gaming tables. |

| As pertinent today as it was in World War I, the nonfiction travelogue Fighting France follows American expatriate Edith Wharton through France as she attempts to discover how a society of culture can prepare itself for that least cultured of activities: war. |
