Loved it

An excellent book about the history of France written in an easy-to-read style. The only thing that is missing is any reference at all to the United States. Interesting!

Lite, but not too lite

More history than you'll find in a guidebook, but less than a semester course. Well written and up to date. It was just what I hoped for. Read it on the flights to and from Paris and was glad I did.
