That Sweet Enemy: The British and the French from the Sun King to the Present by Robert Tombs and Isabelle Tombs
Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 6.36MB
Overview: From Blenheim and Waterloo to ‘Up Yours, Delors’ and ‘Hop Off You Frogs’, the cross-Channel relationship has been one of rivalry, misapprehension and suspicion. But it has also been a relationship of envy, admiration and affection.
In the nearly two centuries since the final defeat of Napoleon, France and Britain have spent much of that time as allies – an alliance that has been almost as uneasy, as competitive and as ambivalent as the generations of warfare. Their rivalry both on peace and war, for good and ill, has shaped the modern world, from North America to India in the eighteenth century, in Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and it is still shaping Europe today.
