Published in association with the Royal Institute of International Affairs and L'Institut Francais des Relations Internationales, this book focuses on the prospects opening up for Franco-British cooperation in the fields of defense and security. It argues forcefully that it is now time for both Britain and France to give up their long-standing attitude of mutual indifference--or even rivalry--and to recognize the similarities and natural affinities that exist between them.
