First Published in 1928 The Economic Problems of Europe presents a
comprehensive overview of the economic and political transformation
of Europe since the First World War. European and world problems
often tend to be looked upon from the political, diplomatic, naval,
or military aspect. Morgan Philips Price attempted to add the
economic background and to show the connection between the
political rearrangements since the First World War and the material
needs of society, markets of the industrialist, the wages of the
workman, and the loans of the bankers. He argued that with the
growing internationalization of the world economy, the old map of
the world is obsolete and the new one, if it is based on frontiers
of finance and industry, will be something very different. This
book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of economic
history, war history, political economy, British economic history
and European history.
First Published in 1961 Russia Forty Years On presents a
comparative overview of Russian history from the Tsarist days to
the Stalin Era. Morgan Philips Price looks back on Russia over a
period of fifty years - the Tsarist time, the First World War, the
October Revolution, and the time of Stalin; and describes his last
visit there in the autumn of 1959. Though the book is mainly about
Russia there are two chapters at the end about Germany and
especially about that part which was under Russian influence.
Having seen Russian Communism in its homeland, author compares it
with what can be seen of it in Central Europe. This book will be an
interesting read for scholars and researchers of Russian history,
Communist history, and European history.
First Published in 1956 A History of Turkey presents a
comprehensive overview of Turkey's journey from empire to republic.
The book attempts to give a picture of the growth of the Turkish
people, the institutions they have created and the ideas that have
inspired them through the centuries. It discusses themes like how
Islamic civilization came to the Middle East; the rise and decline
of the Ottoman Empire; the National Revolution and birth of new
Turkey; Mustafa Kemal and national consolidation; labour
conditions, social security, and religion in new Turkey. A humble
contribution to Anglo-Turkish understanding, this book is an
interesting read for scholars and researchers of Turkish history,
modern European history, Middle East studies, and history in
general.
First Published in 1943 Russia Through the Centuries provides a
comprehensive historical background of the U.S.S.R. The book tries
to showcase how Russia grew through the centuries, and how the new
Russia was a consummation of all that went before. It discusses
themes such as the first Russian states and their early struggles;
foundations of the Eastern Slav Empire; the reign of Catherine II;
Alexander II and the era of reforms; Soviets taking control, and
the U.S.S.R. and the Second World War. The author argues that a
knowledge of Russian history should be more widespread in England
and the former Anglo-Russian understandings were between Courts and
the upper circles of society and consequently were not lasting.
This book is an essential read for anyone interested in Russian
history.
