Inhaltsangabe:

What is it like to suddenly be occupied by a foreign nation, to live in the uncertainty of never having enough food and fuel, not knowing if friends are informers, being defenseless, and in a constant state of danger? What would you do? How would you cope? Would you collaborate with the Gestapo? Become a spy? Join the Resistance? These questions weren t philosophical but immediate questions that the people of Occupied France had to deal with after their defeat by the Germans. From many sides, Voices in the Dark explores what it is like to live under such oppression. It lets the voices of those who experienced this period of radical upheaval be heard ordinary citizens, soldiers, statesmen, both French and German, seekers of truth. Using this panoramic approach, the author brings crucial questions to life that still resonate with meaning. Explored is the little recognized but powerful influence of the pseudo-occult in the ideology of the New European Order. Included are actual transcripts of the wartime meetings of G. I. Gurdjieff in Paris.
