The Fall of Paris: June 14, 1940 is a book by Herbert R. Lottman that narrates the events that occurred in Paris during Adolf Hitler's offensive against France in 1940. The book describes how Parisians went from carefree to panic and how the city became practically uninhabited as the Germans paraded under the Arc de Triomphe. Lottman reconstructs the Blitzkrieg from inside Paris, showing how statesmen, generals, intellectuals, journalists, and ordinary people lived.
Herbert Roger Lottman was an American author who specialized in writing biographies on French subjects. An influential biographer, he published 17 biographies, 15 of which were related to French culture, commerce, or politics; including works on Albert Camus, Colette, Gustave Flaubert, Henri Philippe Pétain, Jules Verne, and the Rothschild banking family of France. He wrote that, just before dying, Albert Camus was pledged to marry. Camus's estate tried to block his book, partly because of this controversial statement.
