Soon after the signing in January 1972 of Britain's Treaty of Acccession to the European Community, Sir Con O'Neill, a key figure in the events leading to its successful conclusion, was commissioned by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to write an internal history of the preceding negotiations.
His account provides a detailed analysis of negotiations which had an impact on Britain's relations with its European neighbours, and insights into the processes of multilateral diplomacy.

Originally published in 1914, this book uses the reports of Courts Martial to provide a description of conditions in the British Navy from 1680 down to the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Through carefully selected quotations and rigorous analysis, the text reveals the development of a coherent system of justice within the Navy, one which was instrumental in its progressive modernization. Illustrations are provided, including a page of text and signatures from a report of Court Martial in 1694. This is a highly informative volume that will be of value to anyone with an interest in naval history.
