Following 9/11, President Bush''s ''War on Terror'' with plans to invade Iraq erupted into a cultural clash between French reluctance and American assurance over the case for ''Weapons of Mass Destruction.'' In Weapons of Mass Diplomacy, diplomat Abel Lanzac reveals the tension and politics through a French insider''s point of view, with satirical humor that softens the controversial subject matter. A graphic milestone of diplomacy, Weapons of Mass Diplomacy, a bestseller in Europe, provides a revelatory account of a period that saw French fries become ''freedom fries'' and an alternative perspective on the decisions leading up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
