Description: "The Visitable Past: A Wartime Memoir is a fascinating account of the late Pulitzer-Prize-winning biographer's experience as a member of a psychological warfare unit during the liberation of France. Arriving in Normandy a month after D-Day, he was part of the de Gaulle force that entered Paris, the scene of Edel's own student days during the late 1920s and 1930s."--BOOK JACKET.
