891 Is Paris Burning? by Larry Collins and Dominique LaPierre (read 27 Jan 1967) When I read these authors' book Freedom at Midnight on 3 March 1991 I said to myself: "I remember I did not think much of the author's technique when I read this book. So it was with some hesitation that I began their later book." But I enjoyed Freedom at Midnight very much, so either their technique improved, or my appreciation of it improved. But at the time I read this book I did not like it, being it is so journalistic and relies so much on oral interviews and ignores other research. ( )

This was a great book about the liberation of France during WWII. It started off slow but I was drawn in by this amazing piece of history. Ernest Hemingway is also part of this extraordinary time. ( )
