About the book

Shortest History of France by Colin Jones is a history book for adult readers.

From Roman conquest to Emmanuel Macron, the Gauls to de Gaulle, trade to war, religion to migration, colonialism to slavery, Joan of Arc to Asterix. France is the most popular tourist destination in the world, thanks to its unsurpassed cultural and historical riches. Gothic architecture, Louis XIV opulence, revolutionary spirit, cafe society, haute cuisine and couture - what could be more quintessentially French?

As nationalism and anti-immigration rhetoric surge in France (and elsewhere). The Shortest History of France presents a portrait of a nation whose politics and society have always been shaped by global forces. Clear-eyed and avoiding traps of national exceptionalism, Jones unfolds France's first millennium of invasions and subjugation by its neighbours and iterations of the Roman Empire, to the Enlightenment. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and The Paris Agreement.
