About this book

This collection of essays looks at Anglo-French relations from the Second World War to the advent of Margaret Thatcher's government in a new light, focusing on the work of Britain's ambassadors to France. In particular, it looks at moves towards deeper European integration, a key theme in twentieth century British foreign policy.

Reviews

'Concise, informative and tightly focused, the essays highlight the part British ambassadors to France have played in their reporting and analysis, their identifying and nurturing of key relationships, and their promotion of specific projects. The volume should be of interest to all international historians, and essential reading for students of modern diplomacy.'

- Keith Hamilton, formerly of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, London, UK
