50 Reasons to Hate the French: Or Vive La Difference

by JulesEden (Author), Alex Clarke (Author)

Synopsis

Did you shudder when Congress renamed French fries? Or sigh when the French rejected the European constitution they had written themselves? Or simmer when confronted with the usual French rudeness in Paris? Well, let's face it: deep down there's something in all of us that likes to take a swipe at our Gallic friends. Jules Eden and Alex Clarke provide fifty painstakingly researched, wittily written reasons to reinforce your views. From the portraits of leaders past and present to the bad dream of the Tour de France, this book answers every question you have about the French except one: Why only fifty?
