Not your typical book about France!

Given the transatlantic rift over the Iraq war & the fact that, for the past 200+ years, France & the U.S. have been "two countries which love to hate each other," this little (under 100 pages) book is a very timely historic, sociological and often witty view of the French. Most importantly, it may very well be the only book ever which-as the title implies-says it like it is, voicing UNprettified, UNembroidered, UNsugar-coated views about the French (in categories such as love, food, politics, religion, time, language, sports and many more!) which people have had for centuries but never dared utter (at least in public). A true treasure of a book, to read for enlightenment, for facts, for fun. (And a great gift!)
