If your idea of international relations is summed up more by 'bugger the Belgians' and 'a pox on the Poles' than 'I'd like to teach the world to sing', then this is almost certainly the book for you. Culled from the murkiest depths of the (un)diplomatic bag, The Big Book of National Insults presents over 1200 stinging examples of international ill-will, odium and animosity. Take your seat at this table of Disunited Nations - and eat your fill of the bouillabaisse of bile, the dhansak of detestation, the lasagna of loathing, the paella of prejudice and the smorgasbord of spite.
