Why read it?
1 author picked The Fall of Paris as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The fall of France is essential historical context for the refugee crisis, and this book is "history with a flair." Focused on Paris—through which millions of refugees were routed and from which two million embarked—Lottman weaves micro-histories (think Eduardo Galeano), culled from an encyclopedic range of accounts, into a panoramic, propulsive day-by-day narrative that prominently features the refugee crisis. A compelling read.
From Austin's list on the refugee crisis in Western Europe in WW2.
