Review # 1 was written on 2018-11-02 00:00:00 Sondra Rich Gibbons was a journalist who wrote for a number of large New York papers, mostly as a foreign correspondent; he was in Turkey during the Armenian genocide and documented some of it as it was happening. When WWI broke out he was living in France, and this book is a collection of his columns about life in Paris in the early days of the war. I really enjoyed the contemporary reporting, and although Gibbons sometimes engages in sentimentality, he is remarkably clear-eyed about some aspects of the war. An interesting library find, I am glad to have read it.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-10 00:00:00 Jeff Lavin While reading this book you always feel you are wasting your time. There are along digressions where the author is trying to ground his opinions about what some philosopher might have thoughtor said but didn't actually say. It reminds one of those books who are based on a doctorate thesis. One gets the sense that he is answering some debates in the 1920s, so much of the book is of no lasting interest.
