The Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy, 1783–1919 3 Volume Set: Cambridge Library Collection - British and Irish History, 19th Century

Editat de Adolphus William Ward, George Peabody Gooch
en Limba Engleză Quantity pack – 21 dec 2011
With contributions from leading historians of the day, alongside chapters by politicians, journalists and lawyers, this three-volume work was the first comprehensive survey of foreign policy during the rise of Britain as a major power. Published between 1922 and 1923, it is unashamed in its aim to present 'a national point of view [with] an avowed regard for the interests, and above all for the honour of Great Britain', but is all the more illuminating for that. Including some original memoranda and documents, it takes as its starting point the Treaty of Paris ending the American War of Independence, and concludes with the Treaty of Versailles (1919). Volume 1 deals primarily with Europe, while Volume 2 shows how British interests were spreading across the world. Volume 3 deals with World War I and the ensuing peace. It also includes a chapter on all Britain's foreign secretaries, from Fox to Balfour.
