"Eatwell reveals the truth behind forty-five myths about the French, from the infamous horsemeat banquets of the nineteenth century that inspired an irrepressible rumor, to breaking down our long-held beliefs about French history and society (the French are a nation of cheese-eating surrender monkeys, right?)"--Dust jacket flap.

2 stars

A pseudo-scholarly checklist of Anglo-Saxon myths about the French. Some useful nuggets, but lots of footnotes and references got in the way of reading.
