He used his considerable periods of spare time, between mundane duties like watching weather balloons, to make a series of notes on philosophy, literature, politics, history and autobiography that anticipate the themes of his later masterpieces, and often surpass them in literary verve and directness. These \u003ci\u003eWar Diaries\u003c\/i\u003e form a portrait of Sartre in his most intense and brilliant phase. With them the twentieth century's most remarkable and public philosopher has provided us with a fitting posthumous monument to his honest and creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJean-Paul Sartre\u003c\/b\u003e was a prolific philosopher, novelist, public intellectual, biographer, playwright and founder of the journal \u003ci\u003eLes Temps Modernes\u003c\/i\u003e.
