112 Gripes about the French (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781169226326)

112 Gripes About The French by U.S. Occupation Forces is a collection of complaints and criticisms made by American soldiers stationed in France during World War II. The book contains a list of 112 issues that the soldiers had with the French people, culture, and way of life. The gripes range from the French language being difficult to understand, to the lack of American-style restaurants and food, to the perceived rudeness of the French people. The book provides a unique insight into the attitudes and perceptions of American soldiers towards the French during the war, and offers a glimpse into the cultural clashes that occurred between the two nations. While the book may be seen as controversial or offensive by some, it remains a valuable historical document that sheds light on the experiences of American soldiers in France during World War II.Note: pamphlet issued by U.S. occupation forces to troops in late 1945.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
