This collection gathers many of the best-known names in the English-speaking world in the field of Anglo-French relations, providing an authoritative survey for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying International Relations in the long twentieth century, starting with the crucial period of the First World War and ending with the equally complex question of the second Iraq War. The emphasis is on British perceptions of the Entente, a subject which has not, until now, received the attention it deserves.
