Transworld Digital
<span>A short ebook-only publication detailing the continued tortures  that the British and Americans have inflicted on the French over the  past few years, following on from the ten centuries of conflict  described in Clarke's bestselling book 1000 Years of Annoying the  French.<br> <br>A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR<br>Bonjour dear reader,<br> <br>Ever  since European history began, we Brits have been happily engaged in our  national pastime - annoying the French. And ever since the US came into  existence, Americans have joined the party. The past couple of years  have shown that this annoying never stops. To give just three examples:<br> <br>When  French political superstar Dominique Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New  York, France's establishment was outraged. It soon emerged that the  country's male élite regarded sexual harassment as a basic human right. <br><br>After  a mid-Atlantic collision between French and British nuclear submarines,  France's Minister of Defense seemed to blame the accident on ...  shrimps.<br> <br>And when British Prime Minister David Cameron walked  out of a Eurosummit, a French politician accused him of being 'like a  man at a wife-swapping party who refuses to bring his own wife.' Yes, a  very French image, and it just one of the many anti-Anglophone insults  that came flying across the Channel.<br> <br>You will find all this, and much more, in Annoying the French Encore! Because, for the French, the merde never ends.<br> <br>Yours historically,<br> Stephen Clarke</span>
