This is a very personal book. It is about the author's reaction to France and French history of the last hundred years, rather than a straight history. He knows both intimately, and so he can be trusted. The varieties of French experience --the Belle Epoque, the secular school, the intellectuals and the politicians in both world wars, the literati, the Jews, the Resistance and Occupation, contemporary figures and trends-- are illuminated in a style both individual and accessible.
