John Kent has written the first full scholarly study of British and
French policy in their West African colonies during the Second
World War and its aftermath. His detailed analysis shows how the
broader requirements of Anglo-French relations in Europe and the
wider world shaped the formulation and execution of the two
colonial powers' policy in Black Africa. He examines the guiding
principles of the policy-makers in London and Paris and the
problems experienced by the colonial administrators themselves.
This is a genuinely comparative study, thoroughly grounded in both
French and British archives, and it sheds new light on the
development of Anglo-French co-operation in colonial matters in
this period.
