The Falklands War: An imperial history
In the long twilight of the British empire there have been few episodes as unexpected and as climactic as the Falklands Conflict. To some, like the famous Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, the conflict was an absurdity; in his words: ‘two bald men fighting over a comb’. To others, like the then Conservative British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, the conflict was one of freedom versus oppression—in which right triumphed over wrong, freedom ov…
Britain and Italy in the era of the Great War: Defending and forging empires
There is in Anglophone discourse and in particular in Anglo-American historiography, a long tradition of belittling and running down post-Risorgimento Italy's quest for Great Power status. From Lord Salisbury's ‘sturdy beggars’ to Richard Bosworth's telling description ‘the least of the great powers’, post-1861 Italy has been seen, as in the words of Prince Bismarck, suffering from ‘a big appetite but bad teeth’. In his book, Britain and Italy in…

Safe passage: The transition from British to American hegemony
One of the perennial topics of discussion among International Relations theorists is the concept of hegemony, both historically and in the contemporary world. Recently, the topic has been the subject of even more widespread discussion due to Graham Allison's recent book Destined for war: can America and China escape Thucydides's trap? (New York: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017). Seeking similarly to explore transitions from one hegemon to another…
The lion and the eagle: The interaction of the British and American empires, 1783–1972
In a moment of exasperation, Sir William Gove Ouseley, a special British envoy to the United States, noted in 1858 that British views of the youthful and exuberant United States were based more on sentiment than strict observance of what British interests would and should require. Although Sir William's observation has been repeated many times since, I for one have yet to come across a scholarly study which explicates the origins and the causatio…
