The War Diaries of Jean-Paul Sartre, November 1939 - March 1940

xix, 366 pp. "Here is Sartre as a young man, vulnerable as every recruit must be, yet ever perceptive and incisive in describing the world he now sees from a very different vantage point. Here are both the daily experiences of this crucial period and the first formulations of the ideas that were to dominate his life."
