1. The Long Holiday
A vivid, panoramic account of French soldiers held as prisoners of war during World War II, tracing the five-year ordeal of captivity in German camps—its monotony and improvisations, the small economies, cultural life, escapes and acts of solidarity, as well as the moral dilemmas and tensions that arose—and the slow, uncertain process of returning to civilian life, showing how ordinary men endured, adapted and preserved dignity amid deprivation and upheaval.
