Vile France Fear, Duplicity, Cowardice and Cheese

In this bitingly funny and insightful polemic, Boyles, who has lived and worked in France for several years, examines the internal crises -- a falling birth rate, an expanding Muslim minority, economic stagnation, a lessening of international prestige -- that have changed the personality of what was once 'La Belle France', transforming it into a nation afflicted with status anxiety. He explains how a country that endlessly repeats its credentials as America's oldest ally has become one of our most resolute enemies, wielding the biggest weapon in its arsenal -- the European Union -- against the interests of an America that it fears and envies. Vile France is a work that will gratify Francophobes everywhere and cause even the most committed defender of the Jacques Chirac worldview to crack an occasional smile.Boyles, Denis is the author of 'Vile France Fear, Duplicity, Cowardice and Cheese', published 2004 under ISBN 9781594030529 and ISBN 1594030529.
