This study is intended as the first biography of Maurice Paléologue, an important figure in the diplomatic history of the Third French Republic. He has never received adequate recognition or biographical attention for his role in the events surrounding the immediate outbreak of World War I and French policy towards Russia and the Balkans in 1920. This book brings to the surface the possibility of a powerful behind-the-scenes influence exerted by Paléologue to initiate and/or execute policy decisions of a controversial nature. It examines documents from the British Foreign Office and the French Foreign Ministry that were used extensively from 1907 to 1917 when Paléologue emerged from the inner depths of the departmental apparatus of the Quai d'Orsay. The material is important in illuminating and analyzing two virtually unknown chapters in Paléologue's career: his Ambassadorship to Bulgaria and his efforts to shape a comprehensive war aims agreement while at St. Petersburg. Extensive use has been made of Paléologue's varied writings, as well. Because Paléologue's thoughts and actions were consistent with one another, an analysis of the writers' ideas yields a fuller understanding of the diplomat's motives. Such a comparison between ideas and their realization is of vital significance in explaining why Paléologue engaged in intrigue, obfuscation, and insubordination in the various diplomatic posts he held. Through this analysis the reader is provided with a cohesive theory and interpretation of Paléologue's life.

It was a great good fortune for all of us that Maurice Paléologue was appointed as the French Ambassador to the court at St. Petersburg mere days before the outbreak of World War I, and therefore that he had a ringside seat to events as they swept across the continent, with inside information from both the Russian and the French governments. As the principal representative of Russia's greatest ally in Europe, M. Paléologue had easy access to all the major political figures associated with the court of Nicholas II, including Nicholas himself, the Empress Alexandra, Grand Duke Nicholas, the Montenegrin sisters, Anna Vyroubova, Foreign Minister Sazonov, and, of course, Rasputin. Better yet, Maurice Paléologue was a profoundly 'clubbable' man (probably in more ways than one - he had a reputation for being somewhat bumptious) with a sharp eye, a witty (again in more ways than one) turn of phrase, and an ever-receptive ear for gossip. He liked nothing better than to sit down companionably with the great and good for a cozy chat, and then to tell us all about what he had learned. His pen-sketches of the people he met, his assessments of the political and military situations facing Russia and its allies, and his search for the seat of the Russian soul, make this and the next two volumes utterly riveting for anyone with a human interest in the fate of Russia as it perched on the brink of the abyss.

Autographed portrait handwritten Lincoln tribute in French translation of tribute partial envelope France Maurice Paléologue (13 January 1859--18 November 1944) was a French diplomat, historian, and essayist. After graduating in Law, Maurice Paléologue obtained an office at the French Foreign Ministry in 1880, and moved on to become Embassy Secretary at Tangiers, in the Morocco Protectorate, then in Beijing (Qing China), and later in Italy. A Minister Plenipotentiary in 1901, he represented France in Bulgaria (1907-1912) and Imperial Russia (1914-1917), and moved on to become General Secretary of the Foreign Ministry in the Alexandre Millerand cabinet. At the same time, Paléologue published essays and novels, and wrote contributions for the Revue des deux mondes. He also wrote several works on the history of Russia in the wake of World War I, which included an intimate portrait of the last Tsaritsa Alexandra Fyodorovna (he had been present at meetings between her and Grigori Rasputin, among others). He was called on to give his testimony during the Dreyfus Affair, and left important notes on the topic. Paléologue was elected a member of the Académie française in 1928. He died in Paris a few months after the city's liberation during World War II.

Fighting the First World War consumed lives, material, and money. Millions died; more suffered. By the war's end, the political map of Europe had been redrawn as empires disappeared and new states arose. In Britain, France, and the Financing of the First World War Martin Horn traces the financial contours of the war, which crippled France financially, leaving Britain, itself weakened, to contest international financial leadership with the United States, the principal beneficiary of the war.Horn shows that victory followed not only from the ability to arm and feed mass armies but also from the capacity to raise money. Fighting the war imposed new demands on the belligerents, extending the power of the state and forcing cooperation among allies. Given their long tradition of hostility, adapting to these new realities was a wrenching process for Britain and France. Britain financed the war not only to win but also to preserve its prewar financial dominance; France financed it to survive and to ensure that the stability of the Third Republic was not threatened.

Engaging the Crusades is a series of concise volumes (up to 50,000 words) that offer initial windows into the ways in which the crusades have been used in the last two centuries, demonstrating that the memory of the crusades is an important and emerging subject. Together these studies suggest that the memory of the crusades, in the modern period, is a productive, exciting, and much-needed area of investigation. Crusading in the Long Nineteenth Century offers a trans-cultural examination of “crusade medievalism”, that is, the use of the symbolism and rhetoric of the crusades in the popular and political discourse of the long nineteenth century. Using a variety of sources, from missionary accounts to children’s literature, this book includes an examination of “crusade medievalism” through the politics of a European-wide audience, from states which could claim some relationship to medieval crusading, to those regions where crusading was not part of a national historical heritage. It also examines how the Islamicate world looked upon the crusades in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By looking at the phenomenon of “crusade medievalism” from a multi-national perspective, this volume is of interest to medievalists, modernists and those interested in the crusades in general.
