In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, a hardened French government is not giving dialogue a chance, charges former Justice Minister Christiane Taubira.
She quit in a huff last week and released a book this week titled "Whisperings to the Young," in which she says France must not "capitulate intellectually" and that a better understanding of what happened would help prevent future attacks.
In the months since terrorists murdered 130 people on the streets of Paris, the French government has imposed a state of emergency, carried out numerous police raids, stepped up its bombing campaign against the Islamic State group and sought greater intelligence and military cooperation with its allies.
