Recent Review
From Calliope, March 1999 ". . . An excellent and very readable account of French history and culture from earliest times to the present day. Complementing the text are maps relating directly to specific time periods and areas, a wide variety of detailed illustrations, a time line, glossary, and a gazetteer."
