This is the second volume in Philip Bell's study of
Franco-British relations in the twentieth century It covers the
period from the Fall of France in 1940 to the opening of the
Channel Tunnel. Philip Bell views the half-century as a long
separation - with France committed early on to a new concept of
Europe, in partnership with Germany, whilst Britain stood apart.
The tensions and resentments it has generated have kept
French/British relations at the very heart of the burning question
of Britain's place in Europe. Yet the story has another side, to
which Philip Bell also does justice. Much has been achieved by the
two countries together and alongside their European partners. For
all their divergencies and antagonisms, the French and British know
and understand each other better today than at any other time in
their modern histories and all these developments are fully
explored in Philip Bell's engrossing and often amusing,
account.
