Notes
During the Great War and its immediate aftermath, France completed the second largest empire in world history. This book is an analysis of the climax of French Empire building. The authors demonstrate that the French largely lost control of imperial policy, even in Paris. The book shows how France underestimated Zionism and Arab Nationalism, and allowed Britain to harness both to the expansion of her own Empire.
