Individual chapters by acknowledged authorities in their field deal with a variety of broad-ranging and particular issues, including: ‘cold wars‘ before the Cold War in Anglo-Russian relations; Lord Curzon and the diplomacy of war and peace-making; air-power as an instrument of colonial control; Foreign Office efforts to frame and influence the historical narrative; Winston Churchill‘s alternative to, and the pursuit of, policies of ‘appeasement‘; British responses to conflict and regime change in Spain; the Secret Intelligence Service and British diplomacy in East Asia‘; Neville Chamberlain and the ‘phoney war‘; efforts to combat American misperceptions of Britain in wartime; and British-American differences over the future of Italy‘s colonial possessions. This collection, along with the accompanying volume covering theperiod after World War 2, is dedicated to the memory of Professor Saki Dockrill. | | Pindex | Book 2013 |
