On June 14; 1940; German tanks rolled into a silent and deserted Paris. Eight days later; a humbled France accepted defeat along with foreign occupation. While the swastika now flew over Paris; the City of Light was undamaged; and soon a peculiar kind of normalcy returned as theaters; opera houses; movie theaters; and nightclubs reopened for business. Shedding light on this critical moment of twentieth-century European cultural history; And the Show Went On focuses anew on whether artists and writers have a special duty to show moral leadership in moments of national trauma.

Tedious to read except for a student of its detail.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Kind of slow and tedious but worth readingBy lachancesareI began this book and put it down twice to read other books more interesting. But it is a history I was not familiar with and has been helpful in helping me understand background about the dark and middle ages in Europe.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
