Reviews
Praise for A History of France An Amazon Best Book of the Month "[Norwich] remembered that there was a public composed of people who read books of history for pleasure, not from duty . . . [ A History of France is] a delightful book--engaging, enthusiastic, sympathetic, funny and sometimes, one has to add, quirky." -- Wall Street Journal "The major achievement of this book is the very fact that Norwich takes each of the four rulers to be a piece of the same story . . . written with often humming literary verve." -- New York Times Book Review "With characteristic deftness of touch, Norwich brings each character vividly to life and skillfully weaves their stories together . . . a genuinely inspired idea for a book, and Norwich executes it with typical aplomb." Tracy Borman, BBC History Magazine "Norwich's long career as a historian has given him a definite assurance of style, which allows him to present historical detail in a thoroughly engaging manner without sacrificing clarity." Library Journal "A streamlined, merry romp through glorious Gaul." -- Washington Independent Review of Books "Norwich's strength is the colorful anecdote . . . [and A History of France is] informative and entertaining." -- Publishers Weekly

Synopsis
The world-renowned historian John Julius Norwich has delivered the book he has always wanted to write: a single-volume history of France, A renowned historian known for his stylistic panache and expert command of detail, New York Times bestselling author John Julius Norwich has, in his last work, crafted the book he always wanted to write-A History of France. Beginning with Julius Caesar's conquest of Gaul in the mid-first century BC and ending with World War II, Norwich deftly chronicles the legendary exploits of Charlemagne, the great French kings-from Philip Augustus in the twelfth century to the Sun King, Louis XIV-and the end of the monarchy after the French Revolution. Featuring extraordinary characters from Joan of Arc and Marie Antoinette to pivotal political figures such as Mazarin, Talleyrand, and Charles de Gaulle, and written with the narrative drive of a master prose stylist, A History of France will illuminate and delight in equal measure all who read it. Book jacket., John Julius Norwich--called a "true master of narrative history" by Simon Sebag Montefiore--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 Caesar's conquest of Gaul in the first century BC, this study of French history comprises a cast of legendary characters--Charlemagne, Louis XIV, Napoleon, Joan of Arc and Marie Antionette, to name a few--as Norwich chronicles France's often violent, always fascinating history. From the French Revolution--after which neither France, nor the world, would be the same again--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, "I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed writing a book more." 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., John Julius Norwich--called a "true master of narrative history" by Simon Sebag Montefiore--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.
