Finished with 1940 section. The French are either embarrassed and ashamed or, the in case of Commies JP Sarte and Simone de Beauvoir, disgusted with the weakness of the middle class and the perfidy of the leadership. The Brits, on the other hand, are determined and gritty.

This is really a good book. Will give it 5 stars now, and I'm only about 3/4 through. Really fine New Yorker article about the work of a LCI during the Normany invasion and another New Yorker about JFK and PT-109. Some chilling short stories by Germans and Japanese, too.

In 1944. Good short story by Heinrich Boll (not much in here from German military side).

Just finished 1942. Last entry was from "The Gallery," by John Horne Burns, and reminded me what a wonderful book THAT is! Should have put it in the 1943 section, but . . . Entry from Germaine Greer reinforced what a loony tune she is -- talks about a Spitfire " with one engine on fire" tipping a bomb away from a town and into the water. How many engines WERE on that Spitfire, Ms Greer?

REally fine book. Have harvested additional "to-read" candidates.
