Om denne bog

A remarkable historical account of the chaos and uncertainty that followed the liberation of Paris in August, 1944

''A beautifully written book about a vast tapestry of military, political and social upheaval. Remarkably well-researched, wise, balanced, very funny at times'' Dirk Bogarde
______________

Post-liberation Paris: an epoch charged with political and conflicting emotions. Liberation was greeted with joy but marked by recriminations and the trauma of purges. The feverish intellectual arguments of the young took place amidst the mundane reality of hunger and fuel shortages. This is a thrilling, unsurpassed account of the drama and upheaval of one of history''s most fascinating eras.
______________

''A dashing, multi-dimensional story. This book covers all aspects of life - diplomacy, strategy, rationing, politics and politicking (from Churchill, Pétain''s and de Gaulle''s point of view), the international theatricals and the tourist invasion, blitzkrieg and Ritzkrieg'' Olivier Todd, Sunday Times

''Absorbing . . . a rich, many-layered account, selecting from official documents, private archives, memoirs and histories with a wonderful lightness of touch, so that the most complex events become clear'' Jenny Uglow, Independent on Sunday
