                                                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.

The author goes on to explain this somewhat puzzling fidelity to inappropriate policies as a function of domestic pressures on French policy-makers.
