Summary
The extraordinary tale of the 1956 French offer to turn Britain and France into one country. Previously secret documents reveal that the French Prime Minister, Guy Mollet, made the offer to Anthony Eden who discussed it with his Cabinet. Mollet even suggested Elizabeth II could be head of the French state. What motivated Mollet's offer and how close did his plan come to being realised? Mike Thomson investigates a time when the fate of France, the shape of Europe, and the balance of global power hung in the balance
