During the phony war that preceded the invasion of France, between
late 1939 and the summer of 1940, the young Jean-Paul Sartre was
stationed in his native Alsace as part of a meteorological unit. He
used his considerable periods of spare time, between mundane duties
like watching weather balloons, to make a series of notes on
philosophy, literature, politics, history and autobiography that
anticipate the themes of his later masterpieces, and often surpass
them in literary verve and directness. These War Diaries form a
portrait of Sartre in his most intense and brilliant phase. With
them the twentieth century's most remarkable and public philosopher
has provided us with a fitting posthumous monument to his honest
and creativity.
