Summary

Published between 1922 and 1923, the first comprehensive survey of foreign policy during Britain's emergence as a major international power.

Description

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 3 deals with the early twentieth century, culminating in chapters on the First World War and on the Peace Conference (the latter written by George Gooch, a participant). This volume also includes a chapter on Britain's foreign secretaries, from Fox to Balfour.
