Reviews

[Miller] embeds her evidence in a rich context of people, places, and things that fleshes out her reasoning and elevates it beyond the objective abstractions of mere logic. --Examiner.com


Historian Boisard takes a hard look at this myth and deconstructs it to show how French nationalism, Norman pride, and the beginnings of a worldwide, twentieth-century marketing industry united to take advantage of one American physician's obsession with a hitherto unremarkable French cheese. --Mark Knoblauch, Booklist
