Editorial Reviews

Review

"...this is an enjoyable, lively, sometimes humorous, but always scholarly collection." Anne Deighton, Albion

"Diplomacy and World Power is a significant book--specialists in international history really should read all of the stronger chapters--and an appropriate tribute to a scholar who has inspired much of the significance to be found in international history" John R. Ferris, Canadian Journal of History
