by R. Utley

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 The French Defence Debate examines assertions of consensus and continuity in, and surrounding, France''s defence since 1958, with primary reference to the political career of François Mitterrand.

by Christopher Hall

118,59€ + 10% CARD

 Arms control diplomacy as a central factor in superpower relations is not a new phenomenon. In this book, Christopher Hall traces the rise and fall of a previous arms limitation effort, the naval treaties of the interwar years, which successfully controlled competition in the strategic weapons of that era - the battleships and other vessels of the British, American and other ''great power'' navies.
