La Belle France

[paul guthrie]

Many of you are familiar with Horne because of the superb Verdun account, he could be the finest English speaking, well native speaker, of France. This book is a 1 volume history and it's terrific.

I loved his book on 1870 which I read twice.

I loved his book on 1916 which I read 4 times and have two copies of.

I loved his book on 1940 which I read twice as well

BUT

I was upset by his book "How Far from Austerlitz" which I gave away afterwards

So I could agree that he is a fine historian of the Franco German conflicts 1870 to 1940 - and leave ot at that.

this one is the whole history of France and I would not have read it if someone else was the author cause I would have assumed it would not be well done, too broad, but it's really worth your time.
