Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong: Why We Love France, But Not the French
by Jean-Benoit Nadeau

The French smoke, drink and eat more fat than anyone in the world, yet they live longer and have fewer heart problems than Americans. They take seven weeks of paid vacation per year, yet have the world's highest productivity index. From a distance, modern France looks like a riddle. But up close, it all makes sense.

Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong shows how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Decrypting French ideas about land, food, privacy and language, the authors weave together the threads of French society--from centralization and the Napoleonic code to elite education and even street protests--giving us, for the first time, an understanding of France and the French. Sixty Million Frenchmen Can't Be Wrong is the most ambitious work published on France since Theodor Zeldin's The French. It goes beyond to explain not only the essence of the French, but also how they got to be the way they are.
