This is an important book about an important topic. Adamthwaite provides a detailed narrative of Anglo French relations that combines attention to the detailed mechanics of diplomacy with a strong sense of the wider political and social context. * Richard Vinen, Professor of History, King's College London, UK * A wide-ranging, wise and witty account of the tricky relationship between the ‘odd couple’ Britain and France in the postwar period. Based on a lifetime of writing history but wearing his learning lightly, Adamthwaite opens up new insights and invites us to reflect on how difficult it was for Britain to sign up to the European project. * Robert Gildea, Professor of Modern History, University of Oxford, UK *
