Fatal Isolation is a riveting account of the social, cultural, and political forces that made France so vulnerable during the historic 2003 heat wave, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of urban life on an overheated planet. Along the way, Richard Keller takes up deep and unsettling questions about what we can and cannot know about the recent past. It's a memorable, haunting book. --Eric Klinenberg, author of Heat Wave: A Social Autopsy of Disaster in Chicago
