Marc Bloch by Carole Fink
This 1991 book was the first biography of Marc Bloch (18861944), historian, soldier in both world wars, and leader of the Resistance, who was captured, tortured, and died a heroic death. Based largely on Bloch's private letters, diaries and papers, as well as on other unpublished documents, it traces the remarkable life of this French-Jewish patriot under the Third Republic.
'One of the twentieth century's most important intellectual figures' Sir Keith Thomas, The Observer

'Carole Fink has written the first full-length biography of Marc Bloch with thoroughness, sympathy and perceptiveness ... an absorbing book ... [which would have] pleased Bloch, for whom history was both a fascinating story and a science always in motion.' New York Review of Books
