The Color of Liberty
If you love Paris as the City of Light, this book might change your opinion. The author digs deep into the history of the people and neighborhoods and it is not a pretty picture. He covers the city from pre-Roman times until the present day and because he has to cram a lot of history into 433 pages some events (the Revolution, Napoleon,etc.) are given short shrift. But this is a "secret" history,a social history, and not your typical history book so it is a forgivable sin. A familiarity with the city of Paris, although not a requirement, helps the reader understand and visualize how the city and the attitudes of Parisians evolved. An excellent book for the lover of everything Parisian.
