Description
Stephen Clarke's 1000 Years of Annoying the French is a light-hearted and impeccably researched account of the great-fallings out between Britain and France since 1066. The author sets the record straight on long-held historical 'facts', revealing that the French have every right to suspect that the last 1,000 years have been one long British campaign to infuriate them. From the Norman Conquest to the present day, Clarke examines the often-misunderstood history between the two nations. With a keen eye for detail and a witty approach, he challenges common perceptions and offers a fresh perspective on the complex and often contentious relationship between Britain and France. This revised and updated edition of 1000 Years of Annoying the French is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history of the region and the ongoing tensions between its two most famous neighbours.
