Book Synopsis France, NATO and the Limits of Independence 1981-97 by : A. Menon
Book excerpt: This book presents the first in-depth assessment of France's policies towards NATO between 1981 and 1997. It also provides a critical assessment of these policies. It argues that France's arms-length relationship with NATO's integrated military structure served its purpose during the Cold War, but increasingly came to impose high costs thereafter.
