About this book

This collection gathers many of the best-known names in the field of Anglo-French relations and provides an authoritative survey of the field. Starting with the crucial period of the First World War and ending with the equally complex question of the second Iraq War, the study has an emphasis on British perceptions of the Entente.

Reviews

'Overall, this collection offers an addition to the existing literature that is broad in both methods and time-span; but focused in purpose.' - Helen Parr, Twentieth Century British History (Oxford Journals)
