One of the great cliff-hangers of all time...heartstopping!
Life
"Is Paris burning?" is the question Hitler asked over and over as the French Second and
American Fourth Divisions battered their way into the city.
Few moments in history are as stirring as the Allied liberation of Paris. Yet few people are aware of how
narrowlyand how miraculouslythe city escaped Hitler's secret plan to reduce it to ashes.
Is Paris
Burning?
reconstructs, in meticulous and riveting detail, the network of fateful events...day by day...
moment by moment...that saved the City of Light.
Bestselling authors and renowned journalists Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre spent three years researching
this stirring book. They drew on French Resistance radio messages, German military records, and secret
correspondence between de Gaulle, Churchill, Roosevelt, and Eisenhower. They tracked down and interviewed
countless people: soldiers, civilians, Allied generals, and even the Nazi commandant who helped Paris fight for
her life. And they re-created the drama, the fervor, and the triumph that heralded one of the most dramatic events
of our time.
Larry Collins was born and raised in West Hartford, Connecticut, and is a graduate of Yale University. He was for more than ten years a foreign correspondent in North Africa, the Middle East and Europe, first for UPI and then for Newsweek, for which he was Paris Bureau chief. He is married and has two sons and now lives in France. DOMINIQUE LAPIERRE was for many years senior reporter and editor for Paris-Match. He is the author of several earlier books published in France, some of them based on his knowledge of the United States, where he attended Lafayette College and where his father served with the French diplomatic service.
Frederick Davidson is a recipient of the Golden Voices Award and numerous Earphones Awards. After performing for years in many BBC radio plays, he came to America in 1976. He has narrated more than eight hundred audiobooks.
