This volume of essays focuses upon Britain's international and
imperial role from the mid-Victorian era through until the
immediate aftermath of the Second World War. 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 the period after World War 2, is
dedicated to the memory of Professor Saki Dockrill.
