![]() ![]() Steinbeck served as a war correspondent in England and in Italy, and much of his wartime writing (both fiction and nonfiction) was borne out of his own experiences and observations. One of his lesser known works is his short classic of resilience and civil resistance, The Moon is Down. Most readers likely associate John Steinbeck with mandatory High School assignments- The Grapes of Wrath, or perhaps Of Mice and Men-and are not aware of his work during the Second World War. The nearly uncontested conquest of the town at the center of the novella is thanks in part to a collaborator in their midst, a prominent townsperson who had set the conditions that ensured a smooth entry for the invading force. ![]()
