'This meticulous reappraisal of British policy towards the Ruhr occupation [of 1923-4] illuminates the increasingly unpalatable options faced by the government as the Franco-German confrontation intensified. It will surely become the definitive account of the evolution of British policy in this crucial episode which had such far-reaching consequences for the course of inter-war history.' - Ruth Henig, Dean of Arts and Humanities and Senior Lecturer in History, Lancaster University
