Book Description
Excerpt from The Diplomacy of the Revolution: Historical Study The best of diplomatic histories is undoubtedly the record of the negotiations themselves, but as the mere diplomatic cor respondence of the Revolution - that is, the communications of the foreign ministers of the United States with Congres takes up twelve goodly octavo volumes, besides requiring for its comprehension a Wide field of contemporary history, it is certain that very few, whatever interest might be felt on the subject, would have either time or inclination to master their own conclusions. This is, therefore, simply an effort to render more familiar to the public mind an important and interesting period of the country's history. It would have been easy to have made a larger book: the labor of this, such as it is, has been to condense its material into the fewest possible pages.

Book Description
Excerpt from The European Commonwealth: Problems Historical and Diplomatic The essays contained in this volume represent a selection from a much larger number contributed to quarterly and monthly Reviews during the last four years. They have been selected because, though not originally designed as steps in a coherent argument, they seem to possess a certain measure of unity and consistency. With one exception all have been written.since the outbreak of the war, and the single excep tion (chapter III) stands in at least as close a relation to recent events as the rest. Suggested though they were by successive aspects of the great struggle in which Europe and the world have been involved, the essays are the fruit of studies which have claimed a large portion of my time during the last thirty years.

Excerpt from Entangling Alliance: Politics and Diplomacy Under George Washington At the beginning of the federal government, as George Washing ton took office, the French alliance was the cornerstone of Amer ican foreign policy; it had contributed immeasurably to American independence and had established American foreign policy orienta tion. At the end of Washington's second term, in fact as he pre pared his farewell to public life, the life-giving alliance was dead and the United States were virtually at war with France. The main problem dealt with m this book 13 how and why 1n eight formative years such a drastic reversal in foreign policy took place. In probing the problem I have attempted, wherever possible, to analyze the role of ideas and attitudes in the evolving franco-amer ican rupture. This approach, within the context of the main theme, led to an analysis of the origins of national political parties as well as of the origins of foreign policy, for from the beginning foreign policy mixed with domestic politics; it was an intrinsic. Part of party origins. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Recent Revelations of European Diplomacy This little book has been written in the hope of aiding students of the World War and its causes to keep pace With the almost bewildering accumulation of material. It has grown out of a paper read to the British Institute of International Affairs on December 12, 1922, and published in the ?ozmml of the Institute for January, 1923. A reprint met with a considerable demand at home and abroad, and I have been pressed from many quarters to bring the survey up to date. The political and diplomatic revelations of the last four years are no less significant than those reviewed in the original address, and many of them remain unfamiliar to English readers. I have confined myself to publications subse quent to the outbreak of war, and illustrating the period from the accession of William II to the Treaty of Versailles. Magazine articles are only mentioned When they are of exceptional importance. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Principles of American Diplomacy The present work incorporates substantially the entire text, with few alterations or amendments, of the volume published by the author in 1905 under the title American Diplomacy: Its Spirit and Achievements. The narrative in that volume, however, embraces few incidents that occurred later than 1903. The years that have since elapsed have been marked by important events, some of which are destined to be highly influential in shaping the future course of the foreign policy of the United States. The present work brings the history of that policy down to date. The object of the author in the preparation of the original work, as well as in its revision, has been to set forth and explain the fundamental principles by which the diplomacy of the United States has been governed. Domestic policy and foreign policy are seldom wholly diverse, and foreign policy is in the main profoundly influenced by local interests and ideals. Consequently, just as the internal development of each nation presents some distinctive phase or phases, so we may expect its foreign policy to bear distinctive marks by which it can be identified.

Book Description
Excerpt from Dramatic Moments in American Diplomacy The public apathy in regard to our foreign policy and the cheerful indifference shown by the majority of our people towards the Diplomatic Service has had a baleful influence upon our country. Even since the disclosures of Germany's designs in the world war have turned attention violently towards the realm of world politics, and thrust the slumbering questions of our international rights and duties into the glare of newspaper headlines, the discussion thus aroused in our press and in our legislatures has revealed a comprehensive ignorance of the first principles of our foreign relations. It displays a total disregard for more than a century of painstaking upbuilding by that successful and farseeing body - the American Diplomatic Corps. It is not and could not be the object of this volume to give a chronological history of the diplomatic achievements of the United States. My purpose is rather to present in simple form a few of the most striking incidents in the service - to picture the outstanding figures and big dramatic actions in our dealings overseas which should be common knowledge to all Americans, but is not. I have no fear that the story will be old or stale. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Diplomatic Background of the War, 1870-1914 On June 28, 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir apparent to the throne of the austro-hungarian Monarchy, was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist in the streets of the chief town of Bosnia. Doubtless not more than the merest handful of the millions who read the news on the following day, realized that the murder would carry in its train consequences of extraordinary moment. The popular mind had become accustomed to assassination of royalty. The Empress Elizabeth of Austria, King Humbert of Italy, King Carlos of Portugal, King George of Greece, had all experienced a similar fate and the international diplomatic situation had not been afiected. Who could guess that this new crime would prove to be of greater significance? And yet within five weeks of the murder and apparently as a direct result, the five greatest Powers of Europe were battling in the most terrific war of history.
