Описание: Libya has a short, volatile history. Foreignersplayed a significant role in shaping Libya’s institutions and policies, and thisbook explores longer term trends in the relations between Libya and the West, placing current developments in their historical context. Throughout history, the globe’s mostpowerful actors have regarded Libya as an outlier state of little significance.Libya belonged neither here nor there and never fell under the full protectionof any significant global or regional powerhouse. Libya’s weak nationalidentity, its weak institutions and its peripheral position have made itvulnerable to external influences and interventions. As a result, Libyarepeatedly falls prey to foreign powers wanting to flex their muscles. As thisbook narrates, this was the case in 1911, in 2011 and several times in between.

Описание: This book covers the tenure of Kitchener as Proconsul in Egypt in the years preceding the First World War. Based mostly on unpublished sources – including government records and private papers – it not only fills a gap in the life and career of Kitchener, the most famous soldier in Britain since Wellington, but it also deals with an important but practically unknown period in Egyptian history. George Cassar shows Kitchener to be an ardent imperialist, but one who had a sense of responsibility to the country he governed. Exchanging his field marshal’s uniform for the dress of a statesman, he arrived in Egypt when British prestige was at a low point on account of his predecessor’s policies. He restored political stability, created conditions that bolstered the economy, and introduced a wave of reforms. Kitchener as Proconsul of Egypt, 1911-1914 reveals how Kitchener’s interest extended beyond Egypt, and how throughout these years he worked quietly to prepare the ground in an attempt to create an Arab Empire under Britain’s suzerainty.
Описание: On 3 July 1940, following the collapse of the French front, the Royal Navy opened fire on the French Navy at Mers-el-Kebir, killing 1300 sailors. This books is an objective account of the tragedy.

S. C. M. Paine emphasizes the fears and ambitions of Japan, China and Russia, and the pivotal decisions that set them on a collision course in the 1920s and 1930s.
Описание: This is a study about the collapse of Chinese traditional commercial order in the late Qing period.
