Title: The Hotel On Place Vendôme - Life, Death and Betrayal at the Hôtel Ritz in Paris
Description: Harper Perennial 2014 Paperback, 296pp. When France fell to the Germans in June 1940, the legendary Hôtel Ritz on the Place Vendôme --- an icon of Paris frequented by film stars and celebrity writers, American heiresses and risqué flappers, playboys and princes --- was the only luxury hotel of its kind allowed in the occupied city by order of Adolf Hitler. Tilar J. Mazzeo traces the history of this cultural landmark from its opening in Fin-de-Siècle Paris. (ISBN: 9780061791048). Good.
