Very well explained and summarised information regarding France and Britain from WW1, covering the 20s, 30s, and WW2 as well, with great sentences and a good outlook.

If you have any interest in the subject, this is an extremely lucid history of the relationship between these countries. I discovered many fascinating facts and episodes in the history. These help me understand assumptions and opinions I have taken for granted, and opened my eyes to the power of differing points of view on the same action, whether individuals or states.
