This book was pure pleasure. David McCullough condenses 70 years into clear and interesting stories of famous and not-so-famous Americans in Paris, ambitious to excel in their work. I especially liked the section about Paris being the medical capital of the world during these years. "From all they learned in Paris, the "medicals" were to exert lasting influence on the profession of medicine in the United States."
McCullough's efforts are sumptuous, enthralling, and inspiring. I highly recommend this book.
