A History of France

John Julius Norwichâ€•called a â€œtrue master of narrative historyâ€ by Simon Sebag Montefioreâ€•returns with the book he has spent his distinguished career wanting to write, A History of France: a portrait of the past two centuries of the country he loves best.

Beginning with Julius Caesarâ€™s conquest of Gaul in the first century BC, this study of French history comprises a cast of legendary charactersâ€•Charlemagne, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Joan of Arc and Marie Antionette, to name a fewâ€•as Norwich chronicles Franceâ€™s often violent, always fascinating history. From the French Revolutionâ€•after which neither France, nor the world, would be the same againâ€•to the storming of the Bastille, from the Vichy regime and the Resistance to the end of the Second World War, A History of France is packed with heroes and villains, battles and rebellion, stories so enthralling that Norwich declared, â€œI can honestly say that I have never enjoyed writing a book more.â€

With his celebrated stylistic panache and expert command of detail, Norwich writes in an inviting, intimate tone, and with a palpable affection for France. One of our greatest contemporary historians has deftly crafted a comprehensive yet concise portrait of the country's historical sweep.
