The German War
In the one hundred years that have passed since July 1914 the origins of the First World War have been continuously contested. This article reviews the debate and takes stock of the recent literature. Its first part outlines how the various explanations for the occurrence of the war came about and sketches the main contentions of these interpretations. The second part of the article considers the historical writing that provides the contextual fo…

Beyond Totalitarianism
R.H. Brand, the Empire and Munitions from Canada
The First World War career of R.H. Brand, 1st Baron Brand of Eydon, provides an important insight into a number of issues. An important financier (with Lazard Brothers) and an ardent Imperialist (a founding member of The Round Table), in 1915 Brand helped establish the Imperial Munitions Board (IMB), the Canadian branch of the Ministry of Munitions. After that time, until 1917, Brand served as the Representative of the IMB in London, acting as th…

Perception and Posture in Anglo-American Relations
September 1942, the British ambassador at Washington, Viscount Halifax, was discussing with the state department's special adviser on Far Eastern affairs, Stanley Hornbeck, the controversy in 1932 between Sir John Simon, then the British foreign secretary, and the then US secretary of state, Henry L. Stimson. Afterwards, Halifax noted in his diary that Hornbeck 'said he thought American opinion had been very unjust to Simon, and threw out the ide…
Britain, Soviet Russia and the Collapse of the Versailles Order, 1919-1939
This book is a re-interpretation of international relations in the period from 1919 to 1939. Avoiding such simplistic explanations as appeasement and British decline, Keith Neilson demonstrates that the underlying cause of the Second World War was the intellectual failure to find an effective means of maintaining the new world order created in 1919."--BOOK JACKET
Britain, Soviet Russia and the Collapse of the Versailles Order, 1919–1939
A major re-interpretation of international relations in the period from 1919 to 1939. Avoiding such simplistic explanations as appeasement and British decline, Keith Neilson demonstrates that the underlying cause of the Second World War was the intellectual failure to find an effective means of maintaining the new world order created in 1919.

Defence and Diplomacy
Examinations of the defence of Singapore normally focus on the role the Royal Navy and antipodean cries of betrayal. In such studies, great attention is paid to such matters as how long it would take the Royal Navy to relieve Singapore and the degree to which the British government misled Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore itself with regard to London's determination to defend the fortress. This study concentrates instead on British diplomacy …

Military Education
Often the only time a nation evaluates the education of its armed forces is during the aftermath of a great military disaster. Even in the light of an overwhelming victory, such as the Gulf War, questions about how well military education was addressing the study of asymmetric warfare, the Revolution in Military Affairs, the role of non-state actors and international relations in the new world order were the subject of debate in and around the va…

Pursued by a Bear
Prior to 1914, imperial Russia was one of the great powers of Europe. After 1917, the armed might of Soviet Russia was an uncertain quantity. This had serious repercussions for Britain in the inter-war period. If the Soviet Union were a negligible military quantity, then Britain would have to pay greater attention to the balance of power on the continent, since France alone could not check the might of a rearmed Germany. If the Soviet Union were …

The work of one member of the British intelligence mission in Russia was once described as ‘consist[ing] chiefly in passing little notes to other noodles of his calling all over the world to warn them of this or that innocent and bar their exit from or entry to all and sundry countries’. Others, even less charitable, characterized the intelligence mission and the war propaganda bureau as ‘joy rides’ and dismissed them entirely, discounting as wor…

W. Somerset Maugham is well-known for, among his other literary pursuits, being one of the originators of modern spy fiction. His novel Ashenden: or the British Agent (1928) is one of the classics of this "genre." However, what is not appreciated is the fact that Ashenden is also important in other contexts, particularly both for an understanding of modern literary images of Russia and for an appreciation of Maugham's own ideas about the nature o…

Incidents’ and foreign policy
Anglo‐Russian relations during the period 1894–1914 were filled with incidents in large part stemming from the very different social and political frameworks of the two countries. The two countries had sharply differing traditions concerning individual liberty, freedom of the press and other such matters usually covered by the rubric of human rights. While the realities of great power politics forced the two countries to work together, it is not …
