Routledge England and the Near East: The Crimea History Book

Explore a significant era of international relations with England and the Near East: The Crimea, part of the Routledge Revivals series. Originally published in 1964, this volume provides a detailed narrative of England's connections with the Near East, spanning from the death of Canning to the period when Disraeli secured peace with honour from Berlin. This work goes beyond a simple record of diplomatic or naval events. Instead, it offers a broad historical perspective that places military actions alongside a study of Oriental institutions and the development of Balkan nationalities. The timeline covers vital moments, starting with the British fleet's destruction of Turkish sea-power at Naarino and concluding with the protection of the Turkish capital against Russia. This book is an essential resource for readers interested in military history, specifically the Crimean War, and those studying the complex political landscape of the 19th century. It serves as a comprehensive narrative that connects naval power, regional politics, and the shifting identities of the Near East during a transformative period in history.
