Radetzky: Imperial Victor and Military Genius
History remembers Wellington’s defeat of Napoleon, but has forgotten the role of Field Marshal Radetzky in the battles which led to Napoleon’s abdication and first exile in 1814. As Chief of Staff to the allied coalition of 1813–14, Radetzky determined the shape of the most decisive campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars by creating the strategy that defeated the Corsican in Germany and then France. Neither Russia nor Prussia had been able to overcome …

Talleyrand and England, 1792–1838: A Reinterpretation
Talleyrand fascinated his contemporaries and later historians alike on account of his wit, style, and epigrams, and perhaps even his policies. Talleyrand drifted across the Channel many times, and so did his policy towards Britain. This article examines his mission to London, 1792-94, and his later attitude towards Britain during the Napoleonic and Restoration periods. In so doing it seeks to demythologise Talleyrand's role as the founder of the …

Nationalism in the fin de siècle Habsburg monarchy
This paper examines the nationality problem in the Habsburg monarchy at the end of the 19th century and looks at the ways in which it has been treated by historians. It analyses present-day Europe and concludes, perhaps ominously, that European Union is in danger of becoming a second Habsburg Empire

The Study of International Relations: A Historian's View
Historians, the Nationality Question, and the Downfall of the Habsburg Empire
Was the Habsburg Empire doomed to collapse, and if so, at what point did its collapse become inevitable? This is a question which has been debated consciously and unconsciously by historians ever since 1918. Today, it is true, Austrian historians are warning against it— Professor Wandruszka even a decade ago advised us to do our ‘duty’ and accept ‘the tragic element in history’1—yet the issue is still discussed.

The liberal tradition and the ‘Lib‐Lab Pact
This article examines the ‘Lib‐Lab Pact’ in the light of Liberal Party history and is written from a viewpoint sympathetic to Liberal Party aims. It sketches the Liberal view that the party's decline was the result more of leadership failure than of failure to respond to social and economic change and poses the question whether the present Liberal leadership is not in danger of continuing a tradition of strategic error. Finally, it suggests that …
