A book recommendation

%26quot;Paris, the secret history%26quot; by Andrew Hussey.





My library finally ordered this book in last week. It%26#39;s a hefty tome, but very easy to read. Particulary good on riots (Andrew Hussey seems to specialise on riots), and scathing about Parisians between 1900 and 1950. It%26#39;s a history of the people of Paris, and he concentrates on teh workers as much as the kings (who were hardly ever in Paris, and ignored when they were anyway)

hiya - just found it yesterday in the local bookstore - $37.95 seemed a high price but it%26#39;s full of great photos. I%26#39;ll be buying it next week..
