A book just released - Dans le secret des archives britanniques - takes a fascinating look at the relationship between France and Britain. The co-authors, who are French and English, delved into the archives at the British National Archives to unearth little-known historical interactions between the two nations. For instance, Britain's government during the Second World War was convinced that the exiled General Charles de Gaulle might be insane. RFI met the book's British author, Kathryn Hadley.
