Summary:

Following her well-received "Alias Olympia," Eunice Lipton takes us on a sensual journey through her love-hate relationship with living in France as an acclaimed art historian, a Jew, and a sybarite who needs a dose of sensuality -- which daily life Paris gives her, even as she examines the darker side of her relationship with her second home. Although "French Seduction, French Betrayal" is for French culture and history buffs, it also takes a critical look at American-French cultural diplomacy, its evolution, and how it has played out across our cultural and political landscape. It specifically focuses on the undercurrent of anti-Semitism that continues to run through French culture.
