Diary of the Dark Years is a sharply observed record of day-to-day life in occupied Paris, but far more: it is a remarkable essay on courage and cowardice (Wall Street Journal), expressing both shame at French collaboration with the Nazis and the stubborn resistance of an intellectual under great pressure.

For more than a decade, international peacekeeping forces have been engaged in Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan - yet peace is far from secured. This book reflects on some of the most difficult questions facing international interventions.
