| | Marc Bloch - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | This is the first biography of Marc Bloch (1886 1944), 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 | | Based largely on Bloch's private letters, diaries and papers, as well as on other unpublished documents, it traces the remarkable life of this French-Jewish patriot under the Third Republic. |
 | | As an historian, Bloch is perhaps best known for The Historian's Craft, an inspiring set of meditations on his life's work, and as co-founder of the now legendary journal Annales, which gave rise to a major school of historical writing. |
