This book is written in the belief that the average English-speaking man or woman has remarkably little knowledge of French history, begins John Julius Norwich. We may know a bit about Napoleon or Joan of Arc or Louis XIV, but for most of us thats about it. Norwichs final book is the one he always wanted to write, a vibrantly colorful chronicle of his beloved France. From frowning Roman generals and belligerent Gallic chieftains through Charlemagne, Marie Antoinette, the storming of the Bastille, Vichy, the Resistance, and beyond, his tale is packed with heroes and villains, romance and revolution, told with memorable stories and racy anecdotes, and illustrated with original maps.The late Norwich tackled the dauntingly vast subject of two millennia of French history with admirable lightness and urbanity. His comic footnotes deserve a review of their own.—Daily Telegraph (London)
