Good narrative of the 1870-71 siege of Paris
Alistar Horne does a good job of grabing your attention from the start and telling the story of the Siege of Paris and the commune which took over in 1871 and was eventually overthrown by French troops. The French were brave, but poorly led as the Parisians were reduced to eating rats to survive.
