Title: A Most Informative Work
Review: The book provides a very detailed account of an often forgotten chapter in WW2. The most endearing feature is the very human nature of the telling that takes it beyond the textbook style to a much more personal account of the many who lived through the liberation of Paris.

Title: Is Paris Burning
Review: The classic tale of the liberation of Paris in the latter part of world war II. Told from the perspective of participants on both sides, this story revolves around two main themes: Hitler’s ordered destruction of Paris and DeGaulle’s hijacking of the allied plan to bypass Paris. Even though you know how the story turns out, the tension about whether Paris will burn or not is maintained throughout this taught account.The deft blending of small events encountered by the characters as they go about their lives and the major events swirling about them make for an interesting read. There are a lot of characters here, but they are skillfully handled, so you don’t feel lost by their numbers.While there is a lot of detail, some things do get lost in the story. I would have thought that art of the Louvre would be considered the most valuable asset in Paris and thus the most deserving of attention. Instead, it is hardly mentioned and apparently it was not in danger because it had been relocated. Odd that there was so little mention of that. Also, after finishing the book I can’t say I gained an understanding of von Choltitz’ motives. While anyone would hesitate to carry out the order to destroy Paris, he was not just anyone. He was a Prussian officer born and bred to follow orders. The story would have benefited from more analysis of how he wrestled with the dilemma. Instead, we just observe the consequences of his choices.

Title: Outstanding writing about the defense and freedom of Paris.
Review: We have been to Paris many times and this reading relived so much of what we know of Paris today. The authors did an incredible job of putting together the facts and delivering a message.

Title: Fantastic coverage of the time of war
Review: Fantastic coverage of the time of war, its affects on France and her people, and a look at part of the history that now defines us. World War II had profound effects on the generations that followed, wherever they were born, raised, or travelled. The insights, for me, into the thoughts and minds of the then-enemy Germans, was very enlightening. One could empathize, somewhat, with those drawn in but not totally committed. Difficult choices between culture, education, moral values, and duty. Excellent read!

Title: ThanK Goodness Paris Did Not Burn!
Review: Authors write in a cinematic- you are there style with no boring areas. I found it to be a thrilling account of events occurring over a very brief period that led to Paris’ liberation just in the nick of time– not unblemished however, as it caught some bombing in the northeast area ,and Old Paris suffered some limited but significant explosive damage. It was frightening to realize that the factionalism of the French Resistance itself could have proved very fatal to huge numbers of city residents. That aspect was a nail biter in and of itself. The whole Nazi thing was mindblowing.I read the book twice as there was so much going on–why isn’t there a remake of the film? Or at least dust off the reels of the original film and show the world today what might have happened save Fortune proved otherwise.this is a must read!

Title: Comparable to The Longest Day and A Bridge Too Far.
Review: Introduced to the movie which I thought was fairly good and told a straightforward story: the liberation of France. I decided to read the book . Bad mistake. It ruined the movie for me. The book was more interesting, suspenseful, informative, comprehensive, complex, tragic and uplifting. There was a lot more going on than just the fighting. Well worth the time to read the book.

Review: The reader’s plummy British accent made it hard to follow the names and military titles, etc, though his pronunciation was excellent. I often lost track of what side was being discussed (and, interestingly, there were three “sides”–the Allies, the Germans and the communists in Paris!) It’s an amazingly detailed and well written account of the final days of Hitler’s occupation of Paris, in fact the final days of the war. Unfortunately I got lost and fell asleep while it was being fought.

Title: If A Used Book Could Only Talk
Review: I’m grateful it came so quickly, being sheltered in New York having lots of time to read.Is Paris Burning, is an incredible read beautifully penned with all the bells and whistles of Germany trying to take Paris while the French hold their own. You feel as if you’re there watching, silently from a secret window.My copy is in good shape for a used book, the cover intact. No writing to speak of. I prefer used books for their history, wondering, whose lap did they nestle in. Were they as riveted on the same pages, could you sit down and discuss what you’ve read?It’s also a salute to the planet to recycle something so special since, you can never put a price too high on a book.

Review: A very well researched book, and very well written. It brings to life a very important period during the Second World war. It shows the complexity of conflicting interests as they unfold, leading to the liberation of Paris. Reading this book. one realizes how close Paris came to actually being burnt to the ground, to being obliterated. I would highly recommend it.
