520    "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. Readers follow Lanzac’s fictionalized self, Arthur
       Vlaminck, a speechwriter for the French Foreign Minister. 
       As part of a team of flamboyant ministerial advisors, he 
       has been tasked with drafting France’s response to the 
       growing international crisis in the Middle East, which is 
       then delivered before the United Nations Security Council.
       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"--Amazon.com.
