Focusing on the transformation of French defense policy post-Cold War, this book explores the strategic shifts and adaptations made in response to changing global dynamics. It delves into the impact of international conflicts, alliances, and internal political factors that have shaped France's military approach. Through detailed analysis, the author highlights key decisions and their implications for both national security and France's role on the world stage.

As the UK leaves the EU and as the multilateral order is increasingly under stress, bilateral security links are more important than ever. Rivals in Arms is the untold story of the thriving yet complicated defence relationship of two countries, the UK and France, caught between strategic decline and global ambitions.
