Anglo-French Relations 1898–1998: From Fashoda to Jospin, edited by Philippe Chassaigne and Michael Dockrill, offers a century-long exploration of the complex and often contradictory relationship between Britain and France. The book begins with the 1898 Fashoda Incident—a near military confrontation in Sudan—and traces the evolution of the relationship through wars, rivalries, and eventual cooperation.
Key themes include:
* Colonial competition and diplomatic tensions in the early 20th century.
* World War alliances, particularly the coordination and friction during both World Wars.
* Post-war economic and political divergence, including de Gaulle's resistance to British entry into the European Economic Community.
* The gradual thawing of relations, culminating in the more collaborative tone of the Blair-Jospin era in the late 1990s.
