Martin Thomas Lecturer in International History,University of the West of England
'The book is based on a very thorough knowledge of the relevant French and British archives. It is classic diplomatic history, but pays due obeisance to the importance of financial matters and (...) demonstrates some sensitivity to domestic politics.' H-France Review of Books 'The author has made excellent use of French archival sources which have only recently become available, combining them skilfully with British archives and an encyclopaedic knowledge of the published material. The notes, whixh occupy about one-quarter of the length of each chapter, are a goldmine in themselves.' Diplomacy and Statecraft 'Scholars of the interwar period and of the role of France in particular should consider (this) book as essential reading.' The Journal of Strategic Studies 'Martin's book is exemplary of the enviably well-informed, relatively positive attitude with which many writers now approach the last chapter of the Third Republic.' Journal of Modern History
