An 86‐page booklet, titled Pocket Guide to Paris and Cities of Northern France, published in 1944 by the
War Department and intended for military personnel. It contains small city plans and brief descriptions
of the history and major sites to be found in Paris and nineteen other French cities. The booklet invites
soldiers to sightsee, “so far as your military duties permit,” but warns that “the only thing in this booklet
that can be guaranteed is the terrain. The rest of it is up to the fortunes or misfortunes of war.” (pp. iii‐
iv) For a digital version of the entire contents of this booklet, see
