Paris After the Liberation by Artemis Cooper
An historical account of the chaos and uncertainty that followed the liberation of Paris in August, 1944.Skilfully balances historical narrative with social analysis, and tempering the appalling with the absurd -- Jan Morris * Independent *
OutstandingEnormously enjoyable to read - exciting, lively, funny, and admirably tolerant and objective in its opinions. It is hard to see how it could have been better done -- Philip Ziegler * Daily Telegraph *
Held me gripped by every page and I was impatient at any interruption. The details of this book are spellbinding, often frightening and sometimes funny -- Alec Guinness * Daily Mail *
This book, like the city it discusses, oscillates satisfyingly between blunt history and roistering gossip -- Frank Delaney * Sunday Express *
