France: A History: from Gaul to de Gaulle by John Julius Norwich

3.0

A good basic race through 2000 years of French history, setting out the main timeline and events. I enjoyed it but also found it massively frustrating in places that the author didn’t provide much context or analysis. I understood what happened, but much less why it happened. I guess this is a good place to start and explore further.
