Fighting France is a book written by Edith Wharton, an American author and philanthropist, during World War I. The book is a collection of Wharton's observations and experiences while traveling through France during the war. She describes the devastation of war and the impact it had on the French people, as well as the bravery and resilience of those who fought and survived. Wharton also provides insight into the political and social climate of France at the time, including the role of women in the war effort and the effects of the war on the country's economy. The book is a poignant and insightful account of one of the most tumultuous periods in French history, written by a woman who was deeply moved by the courage and determination of the French people.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.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
