Our Oldest Enemy

Each day this week, NRO has posted a short excerpt from my new book, Our Oldest Enemy: A History of America’s Disastrous Relationship with France (co-authored by Mark Molesky). And all it cost me was a stack of oil-for-food vouchers. The final installment went up this morning. In order, the excerpts look at episodes from the French and Indian Wars, the American Revolution, the Second World War, the American bombing of Libya in 1986, and Jacques Chirac’s friendship with Saddam Hussein. Many thanks to the NRO readers who took an interest. I’ve also set up a website devoted to the book, featuring daily updates on the continuing story of French perfidy: oldestenemy.com.
