The Burden of Victory
Angebote / Angebote:
In The Burden of Victory, author Laird Kleine-Ahlbrandt discusses French-British relations in the period following the First World War. He looks at how the fear of German power fostered an Anglo-French cooperation that lasted until the end of World War I. With this background, discussions focus on the post-war domestic pressures and tensions that affected the Anglo-French association and contributed to its decline. The Burden of Victory is an incomparable one-volume treatment of such a topic, a topic that has particular relevance in the light of recent Anglo-French concern about Germany's role in Europe after its reunification. Contents: Illustrations, Preface, Prologue: The Formation of an Alliance, Versailles, 28 June 1991, Security is Everything, Reducing the Causes of Exasperation, The Grand Design, Somebody Has to Pay, To Get Some Coal, The End of Passive Resistance, Getting the French to Leave, The Berlin Initiative, The Moderator, The Meeting at Lake Magyar, A Marriage of Convenience, The Locarno Spirit, Epilogue: Tea Time, Appendices, Biobliography, Index.
