A HISTORY OF
FRENCH CIVILIZATION
By GEORGES DUBYand ROBERT MANDROU
"Finally we have a history of France that we .have needed for a long time, a
history that is both scholarly and readable...On the basis of their deep knowl–
edge of history the authors have given an account of the total way of life of
the French people as it evolved through the centuries...One might hope that
this book would be required reading for all Americans involved in making
judgments concerning France and the French."
