– study of 800 years of hostilities and misunderstandings between
our nations.’ – Tom Hibbert, The Mail on Sunday

consult en route to the gîte.’ – Michèle Roberts, The
Independent

of our diplomatic and military history over nearly a thousand
years.’ – Alan Clark, The Daily Telegraph
'[A] highly readable account of Anglo-French relations over the
past millennium . The perspectives Gibson offers are welcome and
timely.’ – A.C. Grayling, The Financial Times
