Description
John Julius Norwich's final book offers a comprehensive and engaging history of France, spanning two millennia from Gaul to de Gaulle.
The author tackles this vast subject with lightness and urbanity, making it accessible to readers who may know little about French history beyond famous figures like Napoleon or Joan of Arc. Instead, Norwich fills in the gaps with colourful stories of heroes and villains, adventures and battles, romance and revolution.
