The Origins of the Second World War in Europe
PMH Bell's famous book is a comprehensive study of the period and debates surrounding the European origins of the Second World War. He approaches the subject from three different angles: describing the various explanations that have been offered for the war and the historiographical debates that have arisen from them, analysing the ideological, economic and strategic forces at work in Europe during the 1930s, and tracing the course of events from peace in 1932, via the initial outbreak of hostilities in 1939, through to the climactic German attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 which marked the descent into general conflict. Written in a lucid, accessible style, this is an indispensable guide to the complex origins of the Second World War.

Statecraft and Diplomacy in the Twentieth Century
This volume of essays focuses on two areas of research: Anglo-French relations and the diplomacy of the Second World War. The essays are the results of original research and, taken together, they offer new insights into and interpretations of key aspects of twentieth-century diplomacy. The essays are principally concerned with the period 1914-1945, but also include a wide-ranging chapter on Anglo-French relations which traverses the centuries and takes the debate beyond the confines of narrow diplomatic history. The contributors to this book are well-known and widely-published in their areas of research - some, including M. R. D. Foot and Geoffrey Warner, enjoy distinguished international reputations.

France and Britain, 1940-1994
This is the second volume in Philip Bell's study of Franco-British relations in the twentieth century It covers the period from the Fall of France in 1940 to the opening of the Channel Tunnel. Philip Bell views the half-century as a long separation - with France committed early on to a new concept of Europe, in partnership with Germany, whilst Britain stood apart. The tensions and resentments it has generated have kept French/British relations at the very heart of the burning question of Britain's place in Europe. Yet the story has another side, to which Philip Bell also does justice. Much has been achieved by the two countries together and alongside their European partners. For all their divergencies and antagonisms, the French and British know and understand each other better today than at any other time in their modern histories and all these developments are fully explored in Philip Bell's engrossing and often amusing, account.
