Robert Tombs (born 1949) is a British historian of France, and professor of French history at St. John's College, Cambridge. His speciality is nineteenth-century France, particularly the Paris Commune. His work, focused on the political culture of the working classes, led him to revise a number of myths associated with the history of the Commune-in this he is similar to the French historian Jacques Rougerie. His first book, The War Against Paris, 1871, analyzed the role of the French army in the suppression of the Paris Commune. In 2006, with his wife, Isabelle Tombs, he wrote That Sweet Enemy: The French and the British from the Sun King to the Present, a history of the relationship between Britain and France. A review in The Independent described it as "stronger on war than on peace. despite the twin authorship, it is a very English perspective, resolutely empirical, deeply anti-theory." His wife, Isabelle Tombs (née Bussy), was born in France and is in charge of French training at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2014, Tombs published The English and Their History, which was widely reviewed. A definitive study of the unique and endlessly fascinating relationship between France and Britain -- and its effects on the world. The relationship between Britain and France is one of the catalysts of world history. Their geographical proximity, combined with their intellectual and economic dynamism, placed them both at the forefront of continental developments and overseas expansion from the eighteenth century onwards. Their insatiable rivalry set the pattern of European imperialism, and hence did much to shape the future of the planet. The interaction between them -- both peaceful and violent, combining admiration and emulation as well as rejection and conflict -- did much to create the identity and culture of both. The result, paradoxically, has been the persistence of a deep sense of difference between two countries that have much in common but regard themselves as exceptional. That Sweet Enemy is a study of the dynamic processes of mutual contact and influence. Appealing not only to scholars, it will also fascinate anyone who takes a general interest in history, politics and culture, as well as those who just love to visit France and England.
