Books by Robert J. Young

"In Command of France" combines a detailed survey of French foreign policy during the Nazi period with a careful examination of France's corresponding military planning and preparation. France was under control, the author argues, and credits the civilian and military command with more vision, more determination, more competence than hitherto recognized.

Includes chapters on polymer composites and functional polymers for electrical, optical, photonic, and biomedical applications. This book features a section on controlled radical polymerizations such as nitroxide, ATRP, RAFT/MADDIX, and CCT and includes material on NMR spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy.

Early chapters describe the tensions within French interwar foreign policy, as well as the ensuing historiographical tensions among scholars intent on interpreting the French experience. Subsequent chapters explore tensions in defence and economic policies, domestic politics and ideological allegiance, public attitudes and opinion.
