Barlett, Peace, War, And The European Powers, 1814-1914

Abstract

Peace, War and the European Powers, 1814-1914 is the first title published in a new British series, European History in Perspective, edited by Jeremy Black. The author, C.J. Bartlett, Professor of International History at the University of Dundee, has written extensively on European diplomacy in the nineteenth century, including Great Britain and Sea Power, 1815-1853 (1963), Castlereagh (1966), and Defense of Diplomacy (1993). The book's brief 180 pages devote equal time to European diplomacy from the Congress of Vienna to the Franco-Prussian war and from the Bismarckian System to World War I.
