Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The Moon is Down chronicles the uncontrollable, unalterable chain of events that is released by an act of brutality. In a masterful tale of the effects of invasion on both conquerer and conquered, John Steinbeck delves into the motivations and emotions of a German commander who is only following orders, and paints a devastatingly accurate portrait of a Norwegian traitor. He brings brilliantly to life the patriotic fervor of the men and women of the Norwegian underground who refused to let their spirit die.
"The novel that came out of Steinbeck's experience as a World War II correspondent."
