France Intox
I've always been amazed by people in book stores asking salespersons what they think they could read because they themselves had no idea.
There are so many interesting books being released everyday. In fact, one of the very few grievances I have regarding life is that I will never live long enough to read eveything I want to read - not to mention reading again certain books.
Anyway, I digress.
Those reading No Pasaran will have no doubt heard about the following book already, but it is well worth mentioning again.
Frédéric Valandré's book is about the state of misinformation France has been suffering for quite some time now. Whether the French are being misinformed about the state of the world (e.g. the war in Iraq) or the state of their country, France Intox exposes the lies and and set the facts straight. A must-read that has finally found a worthy publisher, i.e. Underbahn.

As an apéritif, check this little ad for the book: Marianne is sick and needs medicine...
(For an English version, check here)
I'll be interested in seenig the results of the lawsuit le monde is considering.
