Théophile Delcassé
and the Making of the Entente Cordiale
From the dust-jacket:
Theophile Delcasse's term as French
foreign minister from 1898 to 1905 was the longest in the history of
the Third French Republic. These years also marked a turning point
of major importance in the history of French foreign policy in
general and of Anglo-French relations in particular. During
Delcasse's first months at the Quai d'Orsay, England and France came
to the brink of war. Yet his term of office ended with the signing
of the Entente Cordiale in 1904 and the subsequent co-operation of
France and England against Germany in the first Moroccan crisis of
1905. The solution to the differences between France and England
which formed the basis of the Entente Cordiale was the barter of
Egypt for Morocco. Dr. Andrew's excellent and perceptive book is the
first to show the origins of this barter and to trace the steps by
which it became the foundation for the diplomatic reconciliation of
France and England.
Dr. Andrew places his reinterpretation of the making of the Entente
Cordiale within the broader context of a general reappraisal of
Delcasse's foreign policy. With the aid of a wide range of both
manuscript and printed sources he opens up a number of important new
perspectives on France's relations with the rest of Europe and on
the making of French foreign policy. Amongst the manuscripts he
examined were those in the Theophile Delcasse papers; he has been
the first historian to make full use of this unworked and fruitful
source.

Please note: to avoid opening the book out, with the
risk of damaging the spine, some of the pages were slightly raised on the
inner edge when being scanned, which has resulted in some blurring to the
text and a
shadow on the inside edge of the final images. Colour reproduction is shown
as accurately as possible but please be aware that some colours
are difficult to scan and may result in a slight variation from
the colour shown below to the actual colour.
In line with eBay guidelines on picture sizes, some of the illustrations may
be shown enlarged for greater detail and clarity.

U.K. buyers:
|
To estimate the
“packed
weight” each book is first weighed and then
an additional amount of 150 grams is added to allow for the packaging
material (all
books are securely wrapped and posted in a cardboard book-mailer).
The weight of the book and packaging is then rounded up to the
nearest hundred grams to arrive at the postage figure. I make no charge for packaging materials and
do not seek to profit
from postage and packaging. Postage can be combined for multiple purchases. |
Packed weight of this item : approximately 750 grams

Due to the
extreme length of time now taken for deliveries, surface mail is no longer
a viable option and I am unable to offer it even in the case of heavy items.
I am afraid that I cannot make any exceptions to this rule.

Pounds Sterling] but only if drawn on a major British bank.

Regretfully, due to extremely
high conversion charges, I CANNOT accept foreign currency : all payments
must be made in GBP [British Pounds Sterling]. This can be accomplished easily
using a credit card, which I am able to accept as I have a separate,
well-established business, or PayPal.

book shown is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of this
listing)
Book dimensions are given in
inches, to the nearest quarter-inch, in the format width x height.
Please
note that, to differentiate them from soft-covers and paperbacks, modern
hardbacks are still invariably described as being ‘cloth’ when they are, in
fact, predominantly bound in paper-covered boards pressed to resemble cloth. |

Fine Books for Fine Minds |
I value your custom (and my
feedback rating) but I am also a bibliophile : I want books to arrive in the
same condition in which they were dispatched. For this reason, all books are
securely wrapped in tissue and a protective covering and are
then posted in a cardboard container. If any book is
significantly not as
described, I will offer a full refund. Unless the
size of the book precludes this, hardback books with a dust-jacket are
usually provided with a clear film protective cover, while
hardback books without a dust-jacket are usually provided with a rigid clear cover.
The Royal Mail, in my experience, offers an excellent service, but things
can occasionally go wrong.
However, I believe it is my responsibility to guarantee delivery.
If any book is lost or damaged in transit, I will offer a full refund.
Thank you for looking.
