Britain and the Last Tsar is a fundamental re-interpretation of
British foreign and defence policy before the First World War. The
current orthodoxy asserts that the rise of an aggressive and
powerful Germany forced Britain - a declining power - to abandon
her traditional policy of avoiding alliances and to enter into
alliance with Japan (1902), France (1904), and Russia (1907) in
order to contain the German menace. In a controversial rejection of
this theory, Keith Neilson argues that Britain was the pre-eminent
world power in 1914 and that Russia, not Germany, was the principal
long-term threat to Britain's global position. This original and
important study shows that only by examining Anglo-Russian
relations and eliminating an undue emphasis on Anglo-German affairs
can an accurate picture of Britain's foreign and defence policy
before 1914 be gained.
