Is Paris Burning

About “Is Paris Burning”

Is Paris Burning? is a 1965 book by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre that recounts the Liberation of Paris during the Second World War. It focuses on the military and political events of late August 1944, detailing how the city was liberated. The title comes from a question attributed to Adolf Hitler after he ordered the city's destruction rather than allow it to fall into Allied hands. The book was later adapted into a film of the same name in 1966.
