Reviews

[Count Jared · Rating 3 out of 5]

Taken as a diplomatic history, this is a masterwork of archival research and painstaking chronological arrangement. Taken as a history, this is a work of dubious value, since the author spends so much time telling us what the people involved said, he overlooks until literally the last paragraph whether the policies they were talking about (the Second Concert of Europe) were successful.
