Book Reviews of Is Paris Burning
Book Review: taste, smell and feel Paris during the occupation in WWII
Summary: 5 Stars
Although this books title does not do justice to the content , do not pass it over. For those of you who love historical accounts that also have the 'human' element, this is a book for you. The text is skillfully written and successfully uses accounts from those that were present during the occupation; including the perspective of the German soldiers in Paris, Allied troops and Parisians. This book is one of those rare ones that has the ability to make you feel what it must have been like to live in Paris during the occupation, in fact this book goes one step further and immerses you in the culture of the time. There are moments of joy and moments of utter sadness during this book and the personal stories that have been so well pieced together make this book a historical epic. The book should be a classic and read by all. It makes you feel humble and grateful that we have such wonderful authors that can bring past events to life. Read and admire.
